“Gastronomy teaches us how to serve and to be served by Gaster-the-Belly not only on festive or special occasions but every day. Since eat and drink we must, whether we like it or not, day after day, is it not better to make a hobby of our daily meals rather than let them become a duty or drudgery?”
Simon’s encyclopaedia of the art of good eating, combining a practical cookbook with a comprehensive guide to food and drink the world over.
