The joys, quirks, and questionable behavior that food and drink inspire fill this collection of award-winning commentary and you-are-there narratives. From Houston’s burgeoning culinary landscape to late-night revelry in Britain and Barcelona to a Hell’s Kitchen TV studio, the tales capture a way of life we take for granted no longer, when people freely gathered at tables and counters, shared food, raised glasses, and partook of drama and laughter and magic. Essays explore the staying power of food memories, the non-rational but abiding appeal of junk food, and the complexities of dinner parties and dining alone. The collection also chronicles antics in bars and spectacular shortfalls in customer service, from both sides of the kitchen door (including shenanigans at the Dallas cantina that pioneered the margarita machine); arch an eyebrow at pretentious foodies, over-hyped restaurants, market researchers, and appalling entertainment; and take delight in generosity, from simple gestures to once-in-a-lifetime extravagance. Beneath the wit and intricate, often outrageous detail is an intelligent, deeply personal understanding of the larger role that food and drink play beyond nutrition, which the author developed during 30 years of reviewing restaurants in Houston and New York and covering the specialty food industry nationally. She proves that writing about food doesn't have to be so darn serious. I wish it could all be this fun. -- Sue Reddel, Food Travelist Like going on a tasting tour -- with a menu that encompasses not just food but the deeply felt culture that surrounds it. -- Trav S.D., authorrama and laughter and magic.

Gaylord Brewer's The Poet's Guide to Food, Drink, & Desire is an immediately delightful and surprising work by one of this country's best poets. Indeed, the poet himself calls this book a "quirky volume," the genesis being the desire to create something substantially different and sustained. Since food "had been increasingly creeping into my poetry," Brewer writes, and because he had been asked to write anecdotally about recipes by a journal editor, this unusual memoir took shape. As is the example of his best poems, these recipes are every bit as enjoyable, memorable, and delivered--of course--tastefully.
