Hardcover 

Foods of the World is a series of 27 cookbooks published by Time-Life, beginning in 1968 and extending through the late 1970s, that provides a broad survey of many of the world's major cuisines. The individual volumes were written by well-known experts on the various cuisines represented. The project was overseen initially by food writer Michael Field, who died before the series was complete. The volumes combine recipes with food-themed travelogues in an attempt to show the cultural context from which each recipe sprang.

Includes the following chapters: "Of Grape and Grain," "Beer, Spirits and the Cocktail," "The Hour of the Aperitif," "White Wines of Germany and Alsace," "The Great Wines of France," "Wines of Italy and America," "Dessert Wines: Sherry, Port, Madeira," and "After-Dinner Drinks: Brandy and Liqueurs."
