“Every restaurant is a theater,” writes Gourmet editor in chief Ruth Reichl in Garlic and Sapphires, a memoir chronicling her experience as restaurant critic for The New York Times. As restaurants began rolling out the red carpet whenever she walked in the door, Reichl took to donning disguises and assuming new personalities in order to accurately capture a restaurant’s experience – an experience quite different from that of the critic’s.
In his bestseller, The Omnivore’s Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals, Michael Pollan poses the question: What should we have for dinner? The result is a fascinating and often humorous investigation of industrial and organic food chains in the United States. Discover the greater impact of our food choices and just what it would take to create a meal of entirely foraged food.
In 1948 Julia Child set sail for France with her diplomat husband, embarking on a lifelong love affair with food that turned her into one of the most famous names in the cooking world.
