Long revered for its encyclopedic entries on everything from cooking techniques, ingredients, and recipes to equipment, food histories, and culinary biographies, it is the one book every professional chef and avid home cook must have on his or her kitchen shelf. In fact, Julia Child once wrote, "If I were allowed only one reference book in my library, Larousse Gastronomique would be it, without question."The culinary landscape has changed dramatically in the last decade, prompting a complete revision of this classic work. Larousse Gastronomique has now been updated to add the latest advancements that have forever changed the way we cook, including modern technological methods, such as sous-vide cooking and molecular gastronomy. All-new color ingredient-identification photographs give this edition a fresh, elegant look. And for the first time, Larousse features more than 400 reportage photos–candid images of upscale restaurants from around the world–that give behind-the-scenes access into the kitchens where the finest food is created. Dozens of new biographies of people who have made significant contributions to the food world debut in this revision, including such luminaries as Ferran Adrià, Daniel Boulud, Alice Waters, Gaston Lenôtre, Thomas Keller, James Beard, and Julia Child.With entries arranged in encyclopedic fashion, Larousse Gastronomique is not only incredibly user-friendly, but it is also a fantastic read for anyone who loves food. Skip from Roasting to Robert (a classic French sauce), and then to Robiola (the Italian cheese); or go from Sake to Salad–with dozens of recipes–and on to Salamander, a type of oven used in professional kitchens for caramelizing (and named after the legendary fire-resistant animal). An index at the end of the book of all 3,800 recipes for cuisines from around the world makes it easy to find a myriad of preparations for any ingredient (eggs or chicken, for example) or type of dish (such as cakes or sauces).The unparalleled depth and breadth of information–from the traditional to the cutting-edge–make this newest edition of Larousse Gastronomique indispensable for every cook. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Country Of Origin | USA | | Dimensions | 23.37 x 5.77 x 26.42 cm | | Edition | Revised, Updated | | Importer | Bookswagon, 2/13 Ansari Road, Daryaganj, New Delhi 110002, sales@bookswagon.com, 01140159253 | | Isbn 10 | 0307464911 | | Isbn 13 | 978-0307464910 | | Item Weight | 3 kg 230 g | | Language | English | | Packer | Bookswagon, 2/13 Ansari Road, Daryaganj, New Delhi 110002, sales@bookswagon.com, 01140159253 | | Print Length | 1216 pages | | Publication Date | 13 October 2009 | | Publisher | Clarkson Potter | ## Images ![Larousse Gastronomique: The World's Greatest Culinary Encyclopedia, Completely Revised and Updated - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61lWgwKq4xL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by on Reviewed in India 4 December 2017* larousse the best ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars *by on Reviewed in India 11 June 2016* Thank God for this book ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Larousse gastronomique *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 3 May 2017* It is a great book if you are a foodie and serious about cooking. ## Frequently Bought Together - Larousse Gastronomique: The World's Greatest Culinary Encyclopedia, Completely Revised and Updated - Escoffier: The Complete Guide to the Art of Modern Cookery - Institut Paul Bocuse Gastronomique: The definitive step-by-step guide to culinary excellence --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sc/products/83112762-larousse-gastronomique-the-worlds-greatest-culinary-encyclopedia-completely-revised-updated](https://www.desertcart.sc/products/83112762-larousse-gastronomique-the-worlds-greatest-culinary-encyclopedia-completely-revised-updated) --- *Product available on Desertcart Seychelles* *Store origin: SC* *Last updated: 2026-09-18*
