3000 Mouth-watering Questions
to Cook Up Culinary Conversations
We’re always being told that the art of conversation is dead
– killed by everything from TV to e-mail to texting to our 24/7
always-connected lifestyle.
Children
and adults are spending more and more time online. While people are more closely connected than
ever before, the amount of time we actually spend speaking with our family and
friends gets shorter and shorter.
But
a new game promises to help people of all ages become confident speakers,
better listeners and great all-round communicators, with The
Art of Conversation (TAOC) ®. TAOC
has been developed by Australians
Louise Howland and Keith who have long mourned the demise of the family dinner
and the valuable forum it provided.
Now, they have created a
new way for us to enjoy and connect with each other over the dinner table - The Art
of Conversation: Food Edition. Following the success of their original
title, Howland and Lamb have adapted the recipe to dish up new angles and
avenues to think, and talk, about food, cooking, eating and dining.
TAOC serves up 300 culinary
entrees on topics like food destinations, cooking classes, slow food, fusion,
indulgent food, leftovers and bizarre food ideas. It includes a comprehensive
guidebook to culinary communication, complete with fascinating endnotes. Like
all TAOC editions, it’s not a quiz – it’s not about who knows the most. Rather,
it’s a communication tool that draws on your own experiences, thoughts and
reactions to facilitate fascinating discussions.
It is also the perfect conversation aid at family and social
situations, and over the dinner table.

Conversation (TAOC) ® | all editions RRP $19.95
