Annotation:
New Yorker anthologies are often very satisfying reads, filled with exquisitely fascinating, eclectic pieces, and this food-focused volume is no exception. With writing that spans the decades, eight sections cover food in every conceivable light with essays by the likes of Anthony Bourdain, M.F.K. Fisher, Malcolm Gladwell, and Chang-Rae Lee. A few of the highlights include "Raw Faith," which follows a nun studying the cheese molds of France, Calvin Trillin exploring the dark truth about the negligible differences between red and white wine in "The Red and the White," and Noah Baumbach's dryly humorous relationship story, "The Zagat History of My Last Relationship." With food-focused New Yorker cartoons scattered throughout.
