Jeffrey Steingarten Book order (chronological)

Další kniha autorových vybraných kulinářských esejů.

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.

The book showcases the adventurous culinary escapades of a food enthusiast who goes to extreme lengths to explore gastronomy. From fishing for bluefin tuna belly to experimenting with pizza crust perfection, the author shares humorous and outrageous tales. A highlight includes the elaborate process of creating a "turducken" by boning and stuffing three birds into one another. This volume combines humor, passion for food, and a quest for culinary excellence, making it a delightful read for food lovers.

Thirty-eight outrageous, deliciously provocative pieces from Vogue's indomitable food critic-the man who eats everything, dreams perpetually of the ultimate food experience, and compulsively searches out the truth about how, why, and what we eat.Each section of his new book is a savory course of a splendid For starters, in "Who Is Having All the Fun?," join Steingarten as he dons costly fishing gear and sets out on an epic hunt for bluefin tuna (whose raw belly meat is one of the most delicious things on earth), or read about how he was assaulted by toxic airline food (and be glad you didn't taste that little green leaf).Then, in "A Deep and Blinding Insight," partake of his investigative pursuits as he takes on salt chic (salt is salt, after all-isn't it?), assaults the FDA for banning succulent whole-milk cheeses in the name of hygienic sterility, and starts cooking dinners of braised short ribs for his dog when he can no longer withstand the baleful looks from his golden retriever confronted with desiccated dog-food pellets while his master sizzles sausages for himself. "There Is a God in Heaven," you'll find, be it in "Chocolate Dreams," "Caviar Emptor," or in the luscious taste of a superb boysenberry from the Chinos' farm.But for every reward, there is first "An Intense Hunt for the Facts": knowing the lobster includes understanding its sex life, the secret to supergoose is brining, and you have to aim a Raynger ST-8 at your baking stone in order to determine the heat for the perfect pizza.This is only a sampling of the gloriously entertaining menus that The Man Who Ate Everything dishes up this time around. You'll even find tucked under the plate some special recipes that he has climbed every mountain to obtain.Lucky for his audience that Jeffrey Steingarten is insatiable.

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...
