This is such an excellent resource & its great to have it all at your fingertips with the iPhone/Touch. But... - The bookmarks should be editable, re-namable & sortable. If I mark an appendix entry, I should be able to name it what I want and change the bookmark order... - Bookmarks need to work correctly. Marking "garam masala" gave me a misnamed bookmark. - Searched terms should show up first if they match an entry; you shouldnt have to scroll down past secondary mentions. - Pinch to zoom would be great for the apendices like the meat charts. They are too small as they are. For $12, I expect this wonderful book to be optimized for iPhone use. If the above get added, this is certainly a 5-star app!

Description
The fourth edition of this widely praised reference guide has been updated with new information for everyone, including lovers of ethnic foods and health food aficionados. The authors have added many all-new entries on exotic produce and other unusual ingredients. An earlier edition of The New Food Lover’s Companion was hailed by Bon Appétit magazine as “one of the best reference books we’ve seen, a must for every cook’s library.” This new edition has even more to offer! Among the myriad foods and culinary subjects defined and explained are cooking tools and techniques, meat cuts, breads, pastas, international foods, and literally everything else related to good food and enjoyable dining. Handy appendices cover many topics, including suggestions for substituting recipe ingredients, a microwave oven conversion chart, recommended safe cooking temperatures for meats and fish, and much more. The New Food Lover’s Companion is a reference guide—not a cookbook—but it includes hundreds of cooking tips plus an extensive bibliography of recommended cookbooks. More than 6,700 entries!
From the Associated Press article “A Book Worth Devouring”
“You, too, can be an expert, for less than 20 bucks.
Sharon Tyler Herbst and Ron Herbst’s Food Lover’s Companion has served as an indispensable reference to the food world since the first edition was published more than a decade ago. It’s a bible for food writers, and it belongs in the home kitchen, too.
An updated forth edition with more than 6,700 entries recently was released, continuing the tome’s tradition of helping home and professional cooks make sense of myriad techniques and ingredients.
As valuable as the dictionary-style entries that form the core of the book are the appendices, which include a pasta glossary, a guide for reading food labels, illustrated charts depicting cuts of meat, and substitution and measurement charts.”

From the Reviews:
“If you don’t have this book for your collection, it is surely time to add it, as the previous edition was regarded by Bon Appétit magazine as ‘one of the best reference books’ and ‘a must for every cook’s library.’ At such a reasonable price, this book is a mandatory purchase for any library supporting a culinary program and is highly recommended for all other academic and public libraries.”
—Booklist, January 1 & 15, 2008

Praise for previous editions.
"From abalone to zwieback, Sharon Tyler Herbst lists nearly 6,000 culinary terms in the newly published third edition of her classic Food Lovers Companion. Hands down, it is the ultimate accessible cooking and dining reference book."
—Mat Schaffer, Boston Herald, March 2001
"The New Food Lovers Companion is an updated version of this amazingly comprehensive encyclopedia of everything you ever wondered or will need to know about culinary terms and ingredients. My old copy is more dog-eared than any favorite cookbook, and referred to almost daily...Dedicated foodies cant do without it."
—Susan Miller, The Home Monthly, May 2001
"If theres a culinary reference book that foodies reach for more often than Food Lovers Companion, we dont know what it would be. This mini-tome is brimming with useful information on thousands of foods and terms, from abalone to zwei-back—including pronunciations (ZWI-bak, ZWI-bahk, SWI-bak, SWI-bahk). No surprise that the book has sold more than 1 million copies since its debut in 1990...The new edition has 6,000 terms and a larger appendix. We especially like the pasta chart, which lists more than 100 pastas (with, thank goodness, pronunciations). Also added is a broadened pan substitution chart, expanded listings on soy foods, and more ethnic foods."
—Renee Enna, The Chicago Times, June 2001

Great Resource Needs Polish
Very Good App Stuffed Full of Info

Ottimo
Very usefull
Cook
Certainly a musthave app for all gastronomes
I Love This App!
Great app. For those of you that dont know, the book is a wonderful encyclopedia of food. Ive always had a copy in my kitchen, now I always have a copy in my pocket. This is especially useful when Im in the supermarket. As far as Im concerned this is the perfect app.
Perfect for the on the foodie
When shopping this is perfect for when you find a word that you have no idea what it means. Its exactly like the book. I just dont like the search feature. After a number of results it just stops. There is no see more results.
Improved please
The way it search the word has to be improve because the results that come out are like part of something but it is not the main result. It is more easy to find a word in the real book than in this app, like when I was looking for the simple word MILK, also the setting is so simple, must to be improve, give us the option to turn off landscape and more pictures. With the picture of every single thing this app will be the best and 5 stars but for now only 3 1/2
