This is one of those little treasures just sitting on the library shelf, waiting to be read. Wonderful articles by a variety of authors, previously printed in Gourmet Magazine.
A delicious collection. It's like a food writer's buffet; something for everyone. Take your time reading and savor the articles.

A really fun read- especially the pieces from MFK Fisher, James Beard, Ray Bradbury, and the truly sexist Robert Coffin. In the wake of Gourmet's demise, I relish these tidbits more than ever.

This was an interesting glimpse at travel, food, drink, and more food from the first sixty years of Gourmet magazine. If you're nostalgic for the days when sushi was still italicized, this is the book for you.

I loved this collection of essays on food collected over 60 years--some classic chefs, some great stories, and well worht reading.

A few of my favorite people contributed to this book edited by Ruth Reichl. Anecdotes and recipes.

i had to stop this one, because it just wasn't that interesting to me after reading about 5 of the stories. maybe if i had read this one in the wintertime instead of summer with its distractions, i might have plowed through the whole thing.

This is a mixed bag. I picked it after leaving Reichl's Tender at the Bone unfinished finding that book both pretentious and boring. After the first two essays in Endless Feast I thought -- ack! -- more of the same until I started to skip around and read the essays out of order. I was surprised to see E. Annie Proulx, Ray Bradbury, and Pat Conroy in the table of contents. All three provided excellent stories. I rather enjoyed Robert P. Coffin's Down East Breakfast, too.

I didn't read every selection, but here are those that I feel are worth recommending:
"Mexican Mornings" and "In a Tibetan Lamasery" by Ruth Harkness, "The Garlic War" by E. Annie Proulx, "Dining Alone" by Mary Cantwell, the profile of M.F.K Fisher (though not MFK's contribution, strangely) by Elizabeth Hawes, and "I, Bon Vivant, Who, Me?" by George Plimpton.
Most are short, just a few pages, and get you thinking about the w

Some essays were much better than others. I especially liked the first section that read more like a travelogue. Some of the others told me way more than I ever want to know about people like James Beard.

I love this book for it's variety of stories and mouth-watering descriptions that make food such a wonderful universal topic for connection. Still reading about the life of James Beard which is interesting but I have to say I'm more of a Julia Child fan and I'm disappointed they don't have an article on her. Now I'm interested in reading more in the Modern Library food series.

The Best of the Best writing from Gourmet Magazine; tantalizingly brief glimpses into other times and other places, each essay is a deeply personal revelation.

I expected to love this but I found it hard to get into. I gave up 3/4 of the way through. Maybe someday I'll pick it up again.

Great to pick up and put down for a while. Read ANY selection of these great stories from Gourmet Magazine's 60 years.
