| James Beard could never be described as a sexy man. But he was a man who understood the connection between food and emotion, the sensuality of certain presentations of textures and the experience of great food in the right company. That’s why we’re celebrating the new edition of James Beard’s American Cookery as our product of the week. In some respects, the cookbook is a walk down memory lane of twentieth century, American cuisine. But at the same time, it is a book terribly en vogue, all about cooking locally and seasonally. The book focuses on specialties of each region of the country, with recipes and tales told by one of our nation’s greatest food experts and sensualists. And, BONUS: this edition includes a forward by Tom Colicchio, said by many a woman to be America’s sexiest chef. |
