The Taste Makers

 

Here are The Taste Makers!

Since The Taste Makers: How New World Foods came to Old World Kitchens was published in 2003 it has received nothing but favorable reviews and everyone who has seen the book loves it. Unfortunately the number of reviewers and readers has remained limited and without a large marketing budget we have decided that sales are likely to remain stagnant. It would of course be nice to sell the rights to Hollywood, but they have not come pounding on the door.

Despite this, we feel that this is a wonderful book and we have decided to make it available for free on the world wide web. The book is here, in two versions. If you want to read it on the web, you can get the feel of the book although the formatting is not ideal. If you want to download the chapters as Adobe Acrobat PDF documents and print them, you can see the pages as they are set up in the book. The book itself is nicely printed and bound, and if you decide you want to buy it, we still have copies for sale at a bit less than the original price of $21.95 US. Here is the new pricing:

bulletUS Price, $20 including shipping within the continental USA (lower 48)
bulletCanadian price, $25 (Canadian dollars of course) including shipping anywhere in Canada
bulletEuropean price, €20 (or £15) including shipping within Europe
bulletOther countries, basic price of $20 US plus postage

We are just starting the direct sales campaign, and will try to arrange payment through PayPal or some other easy method, but for the present write us for details.

If you want to order The Taste Makers in combination with Vicki's earlier book, On the Nature of Food, the two are available as a package at a discount price. Ask us for details.

Here are the free versions:
bulletWeb formatted
bulletAdobe PDF files

Keep in mind that the PDF files are about three times as big as the web versions and will take longer to download.
