Book Review and Giveaway – The Seven Culinary Wonders of the World
Book Review and Giveaway – The Seven Culinary Wonders of the World by Jenny Linford
I have joined with White Lion Publishing to offer you this fabulous giveaway. This book is a history of the the seven culinary items that seem to crop up in most cuisines around the world. The seven foods explored in this book are essentials in our foods. These foods cross borders, cuisines and time to appear in a vast amount of recipes.
There is a section devoted to each of the items with beautiful illustrations and the history behind how these ingredients have travelled through time and across the globe.
What are those seven ingredients? Pork, Honey, Salt, Chilli, Rice, Cacao and Tomato, probably all in your kitchen right now! I know personally that these ingredients appear in some form in most of my cooking.
This book will be published in September by White Lion Publishing RRP £18.99 however you can win a copy in time for the release.
To win a copy follow the Rafflecopter instructions below. All entries will be authenticated and anyone not following the rules will be disqualified. This giveaway is only available to residents of the United Kingdom.
probably an onion as it’s in usually the base of most of the savoury dishes I cook
Looks like an interesting book..
I think it is an excellent book – one to keep referring to.
This cookery book looks exciting. I would love to get my hands on the book as you can never have enough cookery books.
I think I will be referring to this book for some time to come!
What a cool concept for a book. Youre absolutely right though, I have all of those ingredients in my litchen (minus the pork) right now!
I never really pondered the cross culture of all of these ingredients before!
Love the artworks! And you can never have too many cookbooks, despite what my husband says…
Never listen to husbands when they comment on how many cookbooks or props we have!!
What a great book to have a competition with! The illustrations are gorgeous too.
Thanks, I really like this cookbook and the gorgeous illustrations.
Thanks for your comment.
It is so hard to pick one ingredient as there are usually alternatives that you could use for many dishes but personal preference I guess I love good Olive Oil
I couldn’t live without fish – I use it in many dishes such as pastas, curries and many more.
You cant beat some rosemary ,always brings out the taste of any dish
I couldn’t live without seasoning, salt and pepper
I couldn’t live without garlic and ginger for cooking.
I could not live without ginger I think. It can be used in Indian cooking and other cuisines and lifts the flavours in a dish. It looks like an amazing book, one I may need to invest in if I do not win a copy. Fingers crossed!
I couldn’t cook without garlic – it’s my favourite flavour!
Never really know what to cook with pork, other than boring, tasteless meals, this book will really help
Coconut oil

Garlic, I love it and put it in everything I cook

Food! Sorry couldn’t resist. I need them all – but I suppose if I have to pick I’ll say vegetables. (yes all of them!)
I couldn’t live without pasta and of course the garlic, onion, tomatoes and olive oil to go with it!
Tomatoes – they seem to crop up everywhere xx
As long as I have an onion I have a meal!
What is life without tomatoes!! 🍅 We eat them almost every day!
Onion. I can’t think of a single dish that I cook that doesn’t have the simple onion.
I couldn’t live without Chicken breast
I always have chicken breast in the freezer then I always have a meal in waiting!
It has to be pepper.
I love using pepper – I have a couple of different ones from different countries!
Butter or virgin olive oil
garlic
Being part french – it’s garlic.
It has to be garlic, it just brings out flavours in so many different foods and makes everything seem to combine lovely. Thanks for the chance for the prize I have my fingers and toes crossed
Salt. I’ve tried many replacements; but I can never quite replicate the taste. It just seems to enhance the flavour of most dishes even sweet things on occasion.
Salt – the most basic of seasonings but one which is needed to bring all food alive. I couldn’t imagine cooking without it!
Garlic
Garlic
Has to be black pepper!

I can’t live without garlic and chilli. Ooh and a spray bottle for oil lol. Garlic is used in so many things. Absolutely love it. Chilli’s add more than just heat to a dish depending how they’re used so they’re a favourite too 🙂

Garlic 🙂
I would have to say salt and pepper, has it seasons most things
