Slow Food

Collected Thoughts on Taste, Tradition, and the Honest Pleasures of Food is an
anthology for cooks, gourmets, and anyone who is passionate about food and its
impact on our culture. Drawn from five years of the quarterly journal Slow
(only recently available in America), this book includes more than 100 articles
covering eclectic topics from "Falafel" to "Fat City." From the market at
Ulan Bator in Mongolia to Slow Food Down Under, this book offers an armchair tour
of the exotic and bizarre. You'll pass through Vietnam's Snake Tavern, enjoy the
Post-Industrial Pint of Beer, and learn why the lascivious villain in Indian
cinema always eats Tandoori Chicken. The articles are contributed by some of the
world's top food writers.
