Book Description
The celebrated journalist, producer, and bestselling author takes us on a culinary journey from Italy to Afghanistan, from Mexico to Massachusetts, a memoir of travel, food, and personal (mis)adventure. In Vietnam, preconceptions collide with the soup; in France, lust flares with the pâté and dies with the dessert; in Bolivia, a very young missionary finds her food flavored with hypocrisy; while at the bottom of the Grand Canyon, an older woman discovers gorp is good, fear is your friend, and Thai chicken tastes best when you're soaked by rain and the Colorado River.

Book Description
From New York magazine’s award-winning restaurant critic, “a timely and delectable smorgasbord of dishes and dishing . . . honest, revealing and funny.” —New York Times Book Review A wildly hilarious and irreverent memoir of a globe-trotting life lived meal-to-meal by one of our most influential and respected food critics As the son of a diplomat growing up in places like Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, Adam Platt didn’t have the chance to become a picky eater. Living, traveling, and eating in some of the most far-flung locations around the world, he developed an eclectic palate and a nuanced understanding of cultures and cuisines that led to some revelations which would prove important in his future career as a food critic. In Tokyo, for instance—“a kind of paradise for nose-to-tail cooking”—he learned that “if you’re interested in telling a story, a hair-raisingly bad meal is much better than a good one.” From dim sum in Hong Kong to giant platters of Peking duck in Beijing, fresh-baked croissants in Paris and pierogi on the snowy streets of Moscow, Platt takes us around the world, re-tracing the steps of a unique, and lifelong, culinary education. Providing a glimpse into a life that has intertwined food and travel in exciting and unexpected ways, The Book of Eating is a delightful and sumptuous trip that is also the culinary coming-of-age of a voracious eater and his eventual ascension to become, as he puts it, “a professional glutton.” “A scarfable recounting of his travels, told through meals.” —Food52 “Gastronomes and fans of Platt will savor this behind-the-scenes look at real life as a restaurant critic.” —Publishers Weekly “A candid, entertaining look at an often bizarre new gustatory landscape.” —Kirkus Reviews “Entertaining.” —Booklist “A delicious peek behind the scenes of a storied career.” —BookPage, starred review

Book Description
An all-American classic: “For the first time in decades, we can revisit the best recipes from some of the best restaurants of the ’40s and ’50s.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch Adventures in Good Cooking was a culinary landmark. Duncan Hines had left his native Kentucky and crisscrossed the country as a traveling salesman, becoming a national tastemaker in the process by reporting on the many restaurants he visited. Eventually, his recommendations became so popular that he published his first cookbook at age fifty-nine. This bestselling collection featured recipes contributed by select restaurants from coast to coast as well as crowd-pleasing family favorites, and it helped to raise the standard for home cooking in America. Filled with succulent treats, from the Waldorf-Astoria’s Chicken Fricassee to the Oeufs a la Russe served at Antoine’s Restaurant in New Orleans to Mrs. Hines’s own Christmas Nut Cake, this book includes classic recipes from top chefs and home cooks alike. Includes a new introduction by Hines biographer Louis Hatchett and a valuable guide to the art of carving
