review 1: "Whether things were ever simpler than they are now, or better if they were, we can't know. We do know that people have always found ways to eat and live well, whether on boiling water or bread or beans, and that some of our best eating hasn't been our most foreign or expensive or elaborate, but quite plain and quite familiar. And knowing that is probably the best way to cook, and certainly the best way to live."This was a great subway read, back and forth between Sunnyside and the Upper West Side, morning and afternoon -- whetting my appetite not so much for food but for creativity. "'You can do this girl . . . The more you fail, the better you get. That's the fun of cooking.'"
review 2: This book was a nice sampling of writing from North America in 2012. I... moret is amazing how food speaks to so many of the emotions and the senses. It becomes a lens through which we view relationships, cultures, our inner-development, politics and so on. This was a special present from my husband and I would recommend it to anyone who likes reading about the many experiences surrounding food. Since it is a series of articles about 3-12 pages each, it isn't a quick read as you have to re-acquaint yourself with the speaker, topic and theme every couple pages and the font is small...so take your time and enjoy each story like you would each bite of a meal. less
