.Eating in Italy
City Travel Guides > Books > Gastronomy
by: Faith Heller Willinger

1998-03
When I arrived in Florence in June 1998, I did not even know the name Faith Heller Willinger.I came across the book Eating in Italy by chance while visiting a bookstore. It looked promising enough and I bought it. For the rest of my month in Northern Italy, this book became an essential guide. How else would I have known which gelato is the best in Venice? Which restaruant is really a must when you visit Sirmione in the lake district ? My secret for discovering Italy's best food was in following this book, both its "do's" and its "don'ts". When I failed to follow a "don't", I came to regret it. Having the book with us in the car was essential in making this visit a gastronomic experience. My only regret ... Read More:

.The Professional Garde Manger: A Guide to the Art of the Buffet
City Travel Guides > Books > Gastronomy
by: David Paul Larousse

April 25, 1996
Finally a book that tries to educate American cooks about the fabulous art of french garde manger cooking. Alas, it is best used by those who have advanced cooking skills as it presents ideas, more than formal instruction. Many of these dishes are difficult, and there are no directions, illustrations or tips on how to give these dishes the finished look they deserve.

.The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals
City Travel Guides > Books > Gastronomy
by: Michael Pollan

April 25, 2006
An elegantly and thoughtfully written book on the modern food industry that feeds us. Pollan demonstrates a refreshing openness, sharing how his journey through mass produced, organic, and hunter-gatherer food systems affects him without ever sinking into sentimentality - even when shooting a wild pig his insight into what it means to be a hunter is superb.

Without doubt one of the best books on food that I have ever read and one that will withstand the test of time, if for no other reason than the issues he covers of where our food comes from, how it is produced and what that might mean are as relevant today as they ever have been.
