CONNECTIONS to HEALTH

The Man Who Ate Everything Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Food, But Were Afraid to Ask  This is a glorious book. A quest for pleasure and perfection. A desperate attempt to harvest the ultimate sensations from the corners of this shrinking and ever sanitised world. An assault on our kitchens and the repetitive mediocrity of our supermarket diet. Jeffrey Steingarten is maternally tender with his staples. Bread, mashed potato and french fries live steaming and moist on the page. His earthy passion for seafood is indulgent. Truffles and sushi are the objects of quasi-religious reverence and awe. I finished each chapter laughing, mouth watering and twitching for the smell of yeasy bread. Buy from Amazon
