More a history than a cookbook

The natural history and evolution of the world's edible nuts are presented in detail in The Book Of Edible Nuts, a discussion by Frederic Rosengarten Jr. which originally appeared in 1984 and here will reach new audiences in its paperback reprint version. Illustrations include rare drawings from world botanical collections but the heart of the survey rests on a range of edible nut facts, from processing and propagation to dishes containing nuts. More a history than a cookbook, The Book Of Edible Nuts deserves a place in any serious college-level culinary collection.
