As always: foods and meals I want to eat, meals I have no desire to experience. This one, more than the others in the series I've read so far, underscored what a privileged act it is to be a foodie, or to write about food. Sections delving into the social aspects of food, got into the sociopolitical: food deserts, a profile of a family living and cooking on food supplied through government assistance. And then, flip a few pages further, and there's pages of odes to heirloom tomatoes, to foie gras. Even chocolate cake. It's weird. I don't know what I think, yet. ( )
I am not an adventurous eater yet mid-way through reading Best Food Writing 2014 edited by Holly Hughes I found myself in a Russian grocery store. I asked the grocer to choose food for me that she thought was tasty and representative . I taste tested meat, fish, cheese, dessert. I brought home a shopping bag of salami's, smoked fish, blintze and custard layer cake. I would not have had this happy adventure without reading this anthology.
The Best Food Writing brings together articles and essays from food writers, critics and bloggers. The essays were wide-ranging, well-written and immensely moving (A Toast Story, Last Meals,Tomato Pie and more). The politics, history, art and science of food as well as the joy of a deliciously baked bread were captured vividly in each author's writings. Even if a reader is not interested in a particular aspect of food writing it has something for everyone and probably much more than that.
I am reviewing this book for Netgalley. Thank you for the opportunity to review this book. ( )
