Book Reviews of The Man Who Ate Everything
Book Review: Fun Reading
Summary: 5 Stars
If you love cooking and enjoy good food, this is the book for you! Jeffrey Steingarten takes you along as he searches for the best granita, the perfect french fries and the best restaurants. You get to explore places and cities all around the world - from his own home kitchen to small towns in Italy. A wonderful book for summer reading. Keep in mind that this is not a cookbook. There are some recipes but this is a book about the cooking, baking and eating experience.
Book Review: Still good years later.
Summary: 5 Stars
I really enjoy Jeffrey Steingarten's critiques on Food Network's Iron Chef America, so it should come as no surprise that I loved his book. His sparkling wit takes what could have been a very dated book (it was published over ten years ago and some of the articles are even older than that) and keeps it as fresh as his performance on ICA. His writing is clear and engaged, very conversational, and very enjoyable. If you like him at the judging table, you'll enjoy the book as well.Book Review: Witty, wry, and delectable
Summary: 5 Stars
Steingarten combines passion, curiosity, erudition, and his lovely wry writing to make a great food book. His scholarly digging and his willingness to use the scientific method to test things is remarkable (his chapter on water, for example). He also finds some real food curiosities such as the Thompson Turkey.Anyone who relishes seeing an active, far ranging mind at work will love this book. Great gift book. Easy to read a chapter at a time.
Book Review: Deliciously fabulous!
Summary: 5 Stars
Mr. Steingarten should be awarded for writing this book.
I searched in vain for an email address so I could tell him directly how much I enjoyed his book. Leaving a short review here is my own way of saying THANK YOU. I could not have picked up a better companion for my two-month stay in Hanoi, where I went to study Vietnamese cuisine. Hours of very well written stories and good laughs.

Book Review: Hilarious and Informative
Summary: 5 Stars
This book is a real treat for anyone interested in food, nutrition, or cooking. The author presents, in the most entertaining form, commentary on our diet obsessions, food fixations, and nutrition nonsense. In between the laughs, you'll pick up a few pieces of genuinely interesting and useful information. As a bonus, its easy to pick up and read one or two of the essays while you are waiting for water to boil.
