Book Reviews of The Man Who Ate Everything
Book Review: A true food lover's delight
Summary: 5 Stars
People that don't like this book, apparently don't like food. This book is one of the most interesting, delightful, humorous book on food on the market. I have read it several times, always finding it more and more amusing. His essay about food phobias enticed me to rid myself of one of mine. I never liked olives - although I actually wanted to like them - my wife eats them with delight - there are so many great recipes that call for olives - so I embarked on the task to "like them" I ate them every day for several weeks until I actually conditioned myself to like them... I love this book. Jeffrey - write another one !!!Book Review: Food Science 101

My wife subscribes to Vogue but I'm the one that rips off the plastic and finds Jeffrey Steingarten's column first. The August Vogue column describes how to optimally bake pizza, which requires temperatures of up to 750 degrees. How can you achieve this in your own home? Through intelligent trial, error, more error, and science, Steingarten will show you. This delightful book is full of his skeptical, inquisitive research, his obsessive need to cook the perfect french fry, and the smarts to demonstrate why salad is bad for you.Book Review: I LOVED THIS BOOK!

Once I picked this book up, I could not put it down for the life of me! Yes, the guy sounds a bit off-putting at first, but the book is so incredibly thorough, so well written, so funny, informative, exhaustive, I cannot say enough! If you like to cook, love to eat, and want to read about it, you need to read this book. It was so funny at times I laughed out loud. This guy has SUCH a passion for food, such awesome research! I'm a vegetarian, so even though I couldn't eat "everything", I was sure jealous of his job.Book Review: Unique!

Did you know Jeffrey Steingarten was a lawyer before he became the food writer for Vogue? That was the best news I have heard since graduating from law school - and it was a brilliant move for Steingarten, whose wit and enthusiasm make reading this book almost like a conversation with the author himself. Steingarten's adventures in the world of food provide satisfying descriptions, great advice, and answers to questions you never knew you had. A definite must-have for every gourmet, and lawyer who dreams of a career change.Book Review: Hilarious and impossible to put down
Summary: 5 Stars
I read this book in no time at all. I have found myself picking it up again and again to read the odd chapter. His recipes are superb and the writing is fantastic. His comments about everything from fruitcake to spit roasting are so funny I found myself falling out of my chair laughing. I would recommend this book to anyone regardless of your interest in food. He pulls you into the world of gastronomy like whirlwind until you find yourself intensely interested in everything gastronomic.
