Product Description
Best Food Writing 2008 once more authoritatively and appealingly assembles the finest culinary prose from the past year’s books, magazines, newspapers, newsletters, and Web sites. This anthology features both established food writers and rising stars addressing everything from celebrated chefs to the travails of the home cook, and from erudite culinary history to food-inspired memoirs. By turns opinionated, evocative, nostalgic, sensuous, and just plain funny, it’s a tasty sampler to dip into time and again, whether you’re in the mood for foie gras or fruitcake.

Like previous collections, Best Food Writing 2008 will include writers such as Colman Andrews, Anthony Bourdain, Frank Bruni, Bill Buford, Barbara Kingsolver, Madhur Jaffrey, Ruth Reichl, Raymond Sokolov, Jeffrey Steingarten, and many others.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stick-to-your-ribs Writing, February 14, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Best Food Writing 2008 (Paperback)
The Best Food Writing series is wonderful not only for the great writing, but also as a snapshot of the food-writing zeitgeist, and this year's collection is no exception. Five stars may be a little generous -- this collection doesn't particularly stand out from the others -- but I read it end-to-end nonstop and then was sorry it was over, and that always counts for something. Best Food Writing 2008 also does a good job of balancing online writing with longer print-based pieces. The last section, "Personal Tastes," was my favorite, particularly "Roadtrip to Chinatown" by Eve M. Tai and Dorothy Allison's "Panacea."

This review is from: Best Food Writing 2008 (Paperback)
A wonderful series that I look forward to every year. The articles, some good, some less so, make you hungry for something good to eat.
