The Gastronomer's Bookshelf

[lamington]

Hi everyone. In recent weeks (feels like months!), I've been working with another long-time eGulleteer, jumanggy, on a book review site - The Gastronomer's Bookshelf.

I wanted to find a way to provide a non-commercial space for reviewing culinary works, whilst leaving the informed discussion and exploration of these books for fora like eGullet. We know that many eGulleteers have great book collections and like to share opinions about their favourite titles.

What do you look for in reviews of works about food/wine/gastronomy? We've tried to construct a reviewing framework which will work for a broad range of people, with both short and more detailed reviews possible. Importantly (for us) the review system also permits participants to provide links to discussions on sites like eGullet or in the mainstream media.

Cheers

Duncan
