Culinary Chronicle International Gourmet Edition appears yearly (autumn) in two languages (English and German) Format: 255x320 mm, 496 pp. With recipes and over 500 photographs and illustrations by Bruno Hausch Food is culture. This concept is the basis of this book and the idea behind a series of volumes to follow. The aim of THE CULINARY CHRONICLE is to document the wealth of food culture from all over the world - each year a new, with painstakingly researched articles on regions supposedly well-known, but worth discovering afresh. The purpose of the book is to explore a new dimension: it wants to document the times we live in, offering plenty of culinary information for the eye and the mind, while at the same time, with its modern design, generous series of illustrations and high-quality production, providing enjoyment and stimulating the senses. For the first time, in THE CULINARY CHRONICLE, a comprehensive documentation is dedicated to the globally cultivated and celebrated art of cooking. As experienced publishers of books which won multiple prices, we regard it as our special challenge to go a step beyond the usual forms of presentation and to acclaim the world's food culture at the highest level. The Culinary Chronicle Volume No. 1, 1997. The best of; Hong Kong, Marocco, London The first volume picks out the focal points of three totally heterogeneous locations. The cuisine of Hong Kong is illuminated in depth, from the most renowned gastronomies of the international hotels to the best Chinese specialty restaurants. The city in which money is the number-one topic is also impressive in its bustling, hectic wok kitchens with their flame-belching stoves, the clearly defined recipes for success of the individual establishments, the multicultural, cosmopolitan top-class addresses, but also in the perfection of its service. A world away lies Morocco, whose southern region represents a counterpart that could not be richer in contrasts. The Tranquility of the country, the carefully nurtured traditions, the light and colors, the arabesques of the architecture and design create an atmosphere of receptiveness for pleasure. Morocco's unspoilt natural surroundings, simple life-style and the genuine hospitality of the people harmonize with the luxurious cordiality of the hotels and restaurants into a multifaceted unison. London, finally, represents the modern age. Having awoken from its long culinary torpor, the city can today claim its place in the avantgarde. Both camps - the champions and supporters of the latest success cuisine as well as the young, extremely creative cooks who achieve their high aims and novel ideas with incredible perfection and professionalism - are portrayed in this book

Die Hong Kong-Küche wird eingehend beleuchtet, von den renommiertesten Gastronomie-betrieben der internationalen Hotels bis zu den besten chinesischen Spezialitäten-Restaurants. Die Stadt, in der Geld das Thema Nummer eins ist, beeindruckt durch die quirligen, hektischen Wok-Küchen mit ihren feuerspeienden Kochstellen, die klaren Erfolgsrezepte der einzelnen Betriebe, die multikulturellen, kosmopolitischen Lokale auf höchstem Niveau, aber auch durch die Perfektion der Dienstleistung.
