Best Thing I Ever Tasted : The Secret of Food

This fascinating book is part memoir, part culinary history, part sociology. Author Sallie Tisdale reminds us to be mindful of each mouthful, not for its fat-gram content or its brand-name status, but for the history & meaning it carries, the power it has to tell us about ourselves. She delves into the medieval kitchen, the classic French kitchen, Betty Crocker's test kitchens, her childhood kitchen. Writing with wisdom & grace, she takes subjects that might seem mundane or overdone & renders them unforgettable. She ties together history, folklore, personal anecdote & sharp analysis to show that what we truly are what we eat.ÓTisdale, Sallie is the author of 'Best Thing I Ever Tasted : The Secret of Food', published 2006 under ISBN 9781422356487 and ISBN 1422356485.
