But for Edward Lee, who, like Anthony Bourdain or Gabrielle Hamilton, is as much a writer as he is a chef, that first surprising bite is just the beginning. What about the people behind the food? What about the traditions, the innovations, the memories? A natural-born storyteller, Lee decided to hit the road and spent two years uncovering fascinating narratives from every corner of the country.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 4,107
Reese Witherspoon’s grandmother Dorothea always said a combination of beauty and strength made Southern women “whiskey in a teacup”. We may be delicate and ornamental on the outside, she said, but inside, we’re strong and fiery. Reese’s Southern heritage informs her whole life, and she loves sharing the joys of Southern living with practically everyone she meets. She takes the South wherever she goes with bluegrass, big holiday parties, and plenty of Dorothea’s fried chicken.

When Molly Wizenberg married Brandon Pettit, he was a trained composer with a handful of offbeat interests: Espresso machines, wooden boats, violin-building, and ice cream-making. So when Brandon decided to open a pizza restaurant, Molly was supportive—not because she wanted him to do it but because the idea was so far-fetched she didn't think he would. Before she knew it, he'd signed a lease on a space. The restaurant, Delancey, was going to be a reality, and all of Molly's assumptions about her marriage were about to change.

Publisher's summary
Denise Tomasetti, a born, bred New Yorker has built her career as a businesswoman in New York City. She shares with the listener a life-changing revelation when it comes to dating. Food Talks! How to stop wasting time with Mr. Wrong so you can find Mr. Right.
Wouldn't it be great to know on your first dining date if you wanted to have a second? Wouldn't it be great to stop wasting time with the wrong man? Something as simple as food can bring out some unknown details of your date which teach you vital information about that person. Everything you hear, see, and experience from food - all has meaning. More importantly, you get to see if you don't like what you've just learned about your date.
After 20 years of dating, Denise shares these precious truths by listening to the clues food has to offer. By learning from her mistakes you'll be able to avoid much heartache and gain the confidence to lose the losers, keep the keepers, and find your date's ingredients - what they're made out of - what's "Tasty" and "Not Tasty" to your palate.
Having her ex-boyfriends' mothers' recipes turned out to be the icing on the cake. Their mothers' food and shared family meals together did whisper some unknown truths to her about their sons. Once Denise realized that she did learn a great deal about her ex-boyfriends from their mothers' meals, the memories of other food experiences she shared with her past loves showed her that not just their mothers' meals spoke volumes, but all food experiences do!
Whether it's a home-cooked meal or a reservation, you too will know how food will teach you more about your date(s) and relationship(s) than you ever thought possible. You will create your "Top Ten Ingredients Card", which is all about what you want and don't want in a person; whether you want a short-term or long-term relationship, a family man, a casual companion or a soul-mate, the choice is yours.
Real-life anecdotes with humor to impart practical modern-day dating wisdom. Denise shows you how to create your Recipe for Love to find who's best for you!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 50
American food is the story of mash-ups. Immigrants arrive, cultures collide, and out of the push-pull come exciting new dishes and flavors. But for Edward Lee, who, like Anthony Bourdain or Gabrielle Hamilton, is as much a writer as he is a chef, that first surprising bite is just the beginning. What about the people behind the food? What about the traditions, the innovations, the memories? A natural-born storyteller, Lee decided to hit the road and spent two years uncovering fascinating narratives from every corner of the country.

In Paris for a weekend visit, Elizabeth Bard sat down to lunch with a handsome Frenchman - and never went home again. Was it love at first sight? Or was it the way her knife slid effortlessly through her pavé au poivre, the steak's pink juices puddling into the buttery pepper sauce? Lunch in Paris is a memoir about a young American woman caught up in two passionate love affairs - one with her new beau, Gwendal, the other with French cuisine.

After graduating from Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, writer Kathleen Flinn returned with no idea what to do next, until one day at a supermarket she watched a woman loading her cart with ultraprocessed foods. Flinn's "chefternal" instinct kicked in: she persuaded the stranger to reload with fresh foods, offering her simple recipes for healthy, easy meals.

At 28, Jessica Fechtor was happily immersed in graduate school and her young marriage and thinking about starting a family. Then one day she went for a run, and an aneurysm burst in her brain. She nearly died. She lost her sense of smell and the sight in her left eye and was forced to the sidelines of the life she loved. Jessica's journey to recovery began in the kitchen as soon as she was able to stand at the stovetop and stir. There, she drew strength from the restorative power of cooking and baking.

Out of Line describes Lynch's remarkable process of self-invention, including her encounters with colorful characters of the food world, and vividly evokes the magic of creation in the kitchen. It is also a love letter to South Boston and its vanishing culture, governed by Irish Catholic mothers and its own code of honor. Through her story, Lynch explores how the past - both what we strive to escape from and what we remain true to - can strengthen and expand who we are.

She inherited a flair for Italian cooking from her grandmother, but she never seems to have the time for it - these days, her oven holds only sweaters.

The Bocuse d'Or is the real-life Top Chef, a biannual cooking competition in France featuring teams from 24 countries vying for the top honors. Named after Paul Bocuse, one of the greatest, most influential living chefs, the Bocuse d'Or has become the most sophisticated and closely watched cook-off in the world. Ironically, though American cuisine now rates among the best in the world, a U.S. team has never placed among the top three in the competition.

This book provides recipes, as well as tons of tips, tricks, and tools culled directly from the Bright Line Eating community, the "Bright Lifers" themselves! Because Bright Line Eating is unlike any food program out there, this cookbook will be unlike any seen before. It's broken down by warm bowls, cold bowls, and plates. There will be a large section on salad dressings - because Bright Lifers live and die by their dressing! Note: There will not be any "cheat" foods, because those foods keep addiction alive in the brain, slow weight loss, and leave you vulnerable to old habits.

Honest, Lighthearted and Enjoyable
Read this book in one sitting. Me. Tomasetti had me from the first sentence. I found myself chuckling more than a few times at her frankness. Equating good to love life is a née one to me, but I found it relatable. I plan on visiting the website and trying out some of the recipes ( especially the spinach latkes).
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
