Customer Reviews

Lover of Gourmet foods/ writing

Really liked this book- Perfect for those who just enjoy reading cookbooks for relaxation or the journalist- which my husband was for 20 years and thought the writing was excellent!

Good Stuff Here

This compilation of food writing is perfect for the foodie who doesn't have the time to sift through enormaous piles of literature to find a handful of good essays. Especially interesting was the article entitled "Josiah & the Giant Onion", describing America's pathetic passion for gigantic chain restaurants.

A pleasurable read

A good selection of writing covering a wide variety of topics. Each story was a delectable mystery as to what was coming, because although the common theme is food, the topics varied considerably. All contributors are highly polished, professional writers, so the quality of the writing is excellent. It wa a great winter bedtime read, to be parceled out, one story a night.
