We present "The Gourmet's Guide to Europe", a truly remarkable book, in many ways the Rough Guide or Lonely Planet of it's day; if you were an Edwardian Gentleman of refined tastes and deep pockets.

Replete with the attitudes and opinions of the day, this is a book that reveals the historical roots of what we might still call "fine dining"

So sit back and enjoy a bill of fayre that includes: when to avoid the restaurants at Trouville , a warning of what to expect at when dining at a German inn, and invaluable advice on where it is safe to take one's wife.

We are indebted to Mr Harry Goodwin, for his role as Lt Colonel Newnam-Davis.
