review 1: I'm sensing a trend - the foodie diet book. Of course, this isn't a 'diet', more of a way of eating that should help you lose weight. And it's completely logical, and I think that if you eat like this, you'll probably lose weight and won't feel deprived. A lot of this is common sense. He gives a lot of examples from his own life on how to handle challenging food situations. I thought his lead in was too long, and I wished he had included more recipes - with nutritional information. He's a good writer, but almost a little too high on the food chain (and with too much name dropping) for me.
review 2: TCL Call#: 641.5635 Kaminsky PMadeleine - 2 starsI so wanted to like this book and did, in the beginning. His first chapter is great - discussing how he figured ou... moret that he needed to get the best bang for his caloric buck if he didn't want to die for his food oriented job. Fab! How do you do this? Here's where it wobbled and fell. Pollan did it better as did any number of actual diet books out there. Perhaps he's trying to reach the tiny audience that was too cultured to have read any of that - but I don't know who they might be.If you prefer your "how to eat" diet information in the form of story vignettes then this might be for you. Otherwise you'll probably react like me. "I don't CARE that you used to eat pizza for lunch. And really, the best ingredients make food tastier? Who knew?" less
