Review
"An endlessly varied overview of our culinary history... an hors d'oeuvre to more satisfying topics of history and culture" * Scotland on Sunday * "A lively selection" * Guardian * "The book is fat with eccentric wit, tips and recipes... there are rich pickings especially among the literary tidbits: Hemingway on fish in the Seine, Chekhov on oysters and - best of all - Pablo Neruda's 'Ode to French Fries'" * The Times * "A mouthwatering compendium on food" * Vogue *

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. This anthology of food writings collects work from all over the world and from all ages. It includes Cato, whose 2nd century BC practical guide to rural life, "De Agricultura", the oldest surviving complete book of Latin prose, is rich in food commentary that illuminates his time. This is also true of Pliny the Elder three centuries later and Apicius, a chef who was one of the first great food writers. The collection pays tribute to writers for their social commentary, such as Emile Zola's observations about the fat and thin people at Les Halles market and Lu Wenfu's discussion of an inappropriate revolutionary retaurant in Maoist China. "Choice Cuts" also includes some of the many writings on food and sex, food and national identity and those food writers who were spectacularly ill-informed. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Seller Inventory # GOR001626477
