A collection of essays from the man I know as one of the Iron Chef judges. Most of the essays are from his articles as a food writer for Vogue magazine, so you don't have to read the book cover to cover, you can jump in anywhere. I was interested to see how much research went into the articles, some of which were dated because the book is, after all, over ten years old. But most of it was still relevant and all of it enjoyable - some laugh out loud moments and some snide snickering moments. Some of my favorite chapters include the ketchup tasting, the time the author and his wife spent eating only from recipes off the back of boxes and his travels in the food world.
Definitely makes me think about the food I am eating and how I am cooking it.
