No matter which cuisine you favor, to enjoy dining out to its fullest you must be able to understand the restaurant menu. And that is the specific function of Norman Krohns Menu Mystique: to explain those foreign menu terms that are commonly used but are not always fully understood. In this thoroughly researched culinary reference work, Mr. Krohn describes exactly how the dish under discussion is prepared (identifying the ingredients used), tells which sauces and/or side dishes traditionally accompany it, and specifies which wines or beverages are considered most compatible. For those who want even more information about the food they are ordering, Menu Mystique describes how, when, and where the dish originated. Included also are fascinating tidbits that the author has gleaned during his distinguished food service career in some of the worlds finest restaurants. This title, originally published in 1983, is available on-demand only.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.

To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
