| Description: | Select Guide Rating THE MAN WHO ATE EVERYTHING was the winner of The Guild of Food Writers Book of the Year and was a bestseller in the UK and US. Jeffrey Steingarten is to food writing what Bill Bryson is to travel writing. Whether he is hymning the joys of the perfect chip, discussing the taste of beef produced from Japanese cows which are massaged daily and fed on sake, or telling us the scientific reasons why salad is a ''silent killer'', his humour and his love of good food never fail. The questions he asks (like ''Why aren''t the French dropping like flies?'') will challenge everything you assume you know about what you eat, yet his characteristic wit imparts masses of revelatory information in the most palatable of ways. A must for everyone who''s ever enjoyed a meal - this book contains everything you ever wanted to know about food, but were too hungry to ask... |
