Jeffrey Steingarten is to food writing what Bill Bryson is to travel writing. Whether he is hymning the joys of the perfect chip, discussing the taste of beef produced from Japanese cows which are massaged daily and fed on sake, or telling us the scientific reasons why salad is a 'silent killer', his humour and his love of good food never fail. The questions he asks (like 'Why aren't the French dropping like flies?') will challenge everything you assume you know about what you eat, yet his characteristic wit imparts masses of revelatory information in the most palatable of ways. A must for everyone who's ever enjoyed a meal - this book contains everything you ever wanted to know about food, but were too hungry to ask...
Jedno děvče, které jsem potkal na párty, mi řeklo: "Jé, vy jste ten, co píše pro zábavu o jídle." Zapomněl jsem, že by se snad mohlo o jídle psát jinak. O tomhle totiž všechny moje knížky jsou. Jsou o vaření starých kohoutů v červeném víně, o tom, jak se v jihozápadní Francii dělají jelítka, v Greenwich Village humři v rohlíku a v Římě chleba. O tom, jak se v Kalifornii pěstuje zelenina a jak si ji bezvadně vychutnáte v Paříži. Jak se můžete pořádně projíst Thajskem a jak všechno obětovat, abyste našli tu nejdokonalejší pizzu. Jsou o chuti soli a o chuti steaku. Jsou o vztahu duše a těla. A o tom základním, animózním pocitu žravé rozkoše, který pocítíme, kdykoli jsme pozvaní na večeři.
