Guinness Books about Food and Drinks

The origin of the Guinness Book of Records is, of course, within the Guinness brewing empire. As the pub trade developed, food became an important (arguably the most important) factor in the business. Guinness was aware of its importance from the 1950s, and Guinness Publishing continued to promote food and drink through many of its publications. This section of our site has details of some of the books published by the Guinness group in this area.
