This curated collection of innovative recipes is an interesting read， but not a practical cookbook。 The front section describes dishes that were considered revolutionary at the time， and the back includes their corresponding recipes when available。 Unfortunately， I will probably never cook salt-crusted squaw pigeons， scallop cooked over burning juniper branches， or snail porridge。 Most of the recipes seem complicated， pretentious， and include a long list of obscure ingredients。 They are printed This curated collection of innovative recipes is an interesting read， but not a practical cookbook。 The front section describes dishes that were considered revolutionary at the time， and the back includes their corresponding recipes when available。 Unfortunately， I will probably never cook salt-crusted squaw pigeons， scallop cooked over burning juniper branches， or snail porridge。 Most of the recipes seem complicated， pretentious， and include a long list of obscure ingredients。 They are printed on a purple paper with small font that makes them hard to read。 Definitely not an addition to my cookbook collection。 。。。more

An interesting list of choices。I am not sure about most of the dishes after 2000。 I feel like it's too early to say what is going to leave a real footprint behind。 I also think this book probably summarizes only the "top 10" choices of the curators， because there are so many impactful dishes in the world to choose from An interesting list of choices。I am not sure about most of the dishes after 2000。 I feel like it's too early to say what is going to leave a real footprint behind。 I also think this book probably summarizes only the "top 10" choices of the curators， because there are so many impactful dishes in the world to choose from 。。。more

It is not a cook book。 I do not think it was intended to be one。 It is an encyclopedia of dishes that changed the world， curated by some of the biggest names in the industry！ It offers an interesting history of gastronomy， very well written， and the illustrations are lovely。 Not to mention， it simply looks beautiful。 However I do have some criticism for this book。Some of the items included are not dishes！ And some of the recipes are definitely missing crucial information。 I think this book would It is not a cook book。 I do not think it was intended to be one。 It is an encyclopedia of dishes that changed the world， curated by some of the biggest names in the industry！ It offers an interesting history of gastronomy， very well written， and the illustrations are lovely。 Not to mention， it simply looks beautiful。 However I do have some criticism for this book。Some of the items included are not dishes！ And some of the recipes are definitely missing crucial information。 I think this book would have been better off without the "recipes" section。However， what bothered me the most was that it was written from a very westernized perspective。 Most of the dishes came from Western Europe and the USA， a few from the Far East， and a couple from the rest of the world。 How can a region as vast as the Middle East only have two dishes （A Turkish dish， and a modern dish from Israel）？！ That is not nearly as comprehensive and representative of how diverse the food of the region is！ Hummus， Falafel， Kebab， Waraq Enab （Dolma）， Kunefeh， Baklava， Tahcheen， Maast-o Khiar， and so on and so on are famous worldwide， yet not a single mention of any of those！I understand that not every dish can be included in the book。 But a larger variety would have been better。 Hopefully the book is revised and more dishes are added to reflect the diverse cuisines of the world。 As for now， the book should be called "Signature Dishes That Matter （to the curators）"。 。。。more

Informative-ish but completely elitist （and Western， and white） and therefore ultimately pretty ridiculous。 It also leans heavily modern， which leaves a lot wanting。Disclaimer: I didn't cook any of the recipes。 Informative-ish but completely elitist （and Western， and white） and therefore ultimately pretty ridiculous。 It also leans heavily modern， which leaves a lot wanting。Disclaimer: I didn't cook any of the recipes。 。。。more
