Book Favorite

"I like how Hilton Als deals with issues of gender in this book. It made me pause and think numerous times while I was reading. I am constantly thinking about these themes especially in the culinary world where women are really becoming more and more empowered and important to the industry."

"Daltry in the beans is kind of disgusting. Reminds me of this ridiculous British fetish magazine my old tour manager found on the road years ago, called Splosh!, which featured pictorials of office secretaries at their desks, dousing themselves with high volumes of food, all mishmashed into a culinary miasma."

This is the story of Rosemund, a woman who was both literally and figuratively pulled up from the gutter to become Lady Blithman, the Chocolate Maker's Wife. See what I thought of this historical, culinary, women's fiction novel in my review here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/08/16/a-delicious-phoenix/

What better season than autumn to savour two books about culinary icons — a memoir by Alice Waters, founder of Chez Panisse, and a biography of Patience Gray, a locavore long before the word became popular.

And a book about an unsung theory of Darwin’s seeks to explain beauty as an evolutionary function.

Rene Redzepi recommended El Bulli Sabor Del Mediterraneo in Books (curated)

"Ferran has authored many books but, to me, this is one of the most important restaurant cook books of the last two decades. You can trace back several of the modern culinary movements of the last 20 years in the pages of this book, and it’s laden with beautiful and inspiring images."
