| Selected by Ruth Reichl, ';punchy and vibrant' essays on food, its place on our tables, in our lives, and in our world (Publishers Weekly). The twenty-eight pieces in this volume are about food, yet touch on every pillar of society: from the sense memories that connect a family, to the scientific tinkering that gives us new snacks to share, to the intersections of culinary culture with some of our most significant political issues. Included among other essays are: ';Revenge of the Lunch Lady' by Jane Black, food writer for the Washington Post, New York Times, and Wall Street Journal';How Driscoll's Reinvented the Strawberry' by Dana Goodyear, author of Anything that Moves';Who Owns Uncle Ben?' by Shane Mitchell, James Beard Award winner and Saveur contributing editor';Is Dinner for Two Worth $1,000?' by Jonathan Gold, Pulitzer Prize-winning Los Angeles Times restaurant critic At times a celebration, at times a critique, at times a wondrous reverie, The Best American Food Writing 2018 is brimming with delights both circumspect and sensuous. Dig in! ';For pure food writing fun, it's hard to beat Baxter Holmes's ';The NBA's Secret Sandwich Addiction,' which will have readers first laughing incredulously and then hungrily craving a PB&J on plain white bread. Thoughtful and educational, enticing and entertaining, this collection has something for everyone.'Publishers Weekly |
