So, really? You don't know: 
• the difference between wine, brandy, and liqueur?
 • which is better for you, health-wise—saturated or unsaturated fat?
 • what are you eating if you bite into a Cranshaw or a Persian?

No problem! We'll have you up and running, food-wise, in no time. So, how do we know all this stuff? Well, we were helping a friend study for the contestant quiz of the Jeopardy! Game show when we realized we had accumulated enough material to help out almost anyone. A student, game show contestant, or the wannabe foodie who lives in all of us.

KNOWLEDGE BLASTER! Guide to Food and Drink provides a cornucopia of cooking advice, food safety tips, mixed drink trivia, and nutrition knowledge. You'll find the answers to your food and drink questions in these pages.

 • Why is a baker's dozen different from a regular dozen?
 • What spice is made from the ground outer coating of nutmeg?
 • How can you make scrambled eggs light and fluffy?
 • What is the best district in the world for red wine?
 • What fluffy dish takes its name from the French for "breath?"

Did you answer all the questions correctly? No? Well, then...

The KNOWLEDGE BLASTER! Series compresses a great mountain of available information into easily digestible morsels. You'll find the books are patterned in an efficient question-and-answer mode, stressing simplicity, brevity, and clarity. You can use this reference work as a launch pad to propel yourself into more in-depth studies. However, if you find this little study guide provides all the information you need, then consider your knowledge...
