Oxford University Press. 344pp. 1st edition. No dj, but otherwise a very good copy of a marvelous collection of international recipes which, the often irascible author takes pains to impress upon the reader, have absolutely, positively not been adapted for use in the United States. Somewhat scholarly, occasionally didactic, observations on foodstuffs and charming decorations by Vito Giallo punctuate the text. Some will no doubt find Gray a bit stuffy, but I appreciate his premise that the best adaptations begin with a good fundamental recipe. Cookery. Postpaid.
