"[S]erves up 40 obsessional, witty and authoritative essays....His brisk and self-mockingly pedantic disquisitions on the edible are unrivaled in the completeness of their basic research."

Raymond Sokolov, Wall Street Journal, 11/12/1997

"[A] wonderful book, comprising a selection of his brilliant essays....[A]n improbable mayonnaise that in less expert hands would have curdled immediately but in Steingarten's has turned out a triumph. it is part cookbook, part travelogue, part medical and scientific treatise, part propaganda pamphlet and part self-deprecating self-portrait. Steingarten writes with marvelous ease and clarity and humor. His facts are fascinating and so are his recipes.."
