Book Chapters
Gastronomy is quite a targeted subject and there are not as many books published specifically about it as other subjects – however there are a lot of books tourism and hospitality, and many of those have chapters which focus on gastronomy.
Chapter 39 of this title is called ‘Macao as a city of gastronomy‘.
Chapter 6 of this title is ‘Entrepreneurship development and Slow Food events‘.
Tip: Make sure you check the contents of more general books to find relevant chapters – there is often a contents list available directly from the Library Catalogue record of a book.
