The science of food duscussed was well thought out, and the recipes that I tried worked well.  Those who like to cook will probably enjoy it.

I mostly don't buy books I can check out of the library, but this one was always on reserve, and I got tired of waiting for it when I wanted to review a recipe or a process.  It's a good read, and has instructions for many preserved foods.  Also interesting are the segments that give a list of ingredients for a processed food.  I particularly enjoyed the sections on making my own sauerkraut and kombucha.

This collection is great for people who are into food, but not "foodies".  I.e., people who would be just as happy finding the best banh mi in town as eating in a 3 star restaurant.  MFK Fisher he's not, but if you like trying new food as part of a life-long adventure, you'll enjoy these stories.

Love the NC descriptions of food and everyday life.  The mystery is secondary to setting and characters to me.
I am ready to go to Amazon to buy book 12.

This is a wonderful cookbook.  You learn about the regions and it's cooking.  It makes for good reading and some really good meals. I could live the rest of my life eating the dishes in this cookbook and not get tired of them.
The price was great;I had looked for this book in the book store and finally found it at amazon.

There are some really good things in here. The egg and rice snacks are great. So are the dinners I've tried.

I have the hard copy of this book.  I am a foodie and enjoy taking the ebook with me.  Great series of books.

This book isn't thick, unlike most people these days.  It's an odyssey of sorts.  I found myself having to return to some of the poetry as it demands a little bit more time to absorb than the stories, which are hilarious and really fun to read.  It feels like having an old friend over for a beer and conversation, but I wish it were longer.  Reading this book is like having a wonderful meal and you know those last few bites are going to be great but mom yanks the plate away because she's started the dishes.  But damn was it a good meal.  Highly recommended.
