Best Food Writing 2002, Holly Hughes
A collection of essays and chapters from food writing from 2002. Duh.
Some of the pieces made me tear up a bit, i confess. (Odd for food writing, yeah - but you go read Dinner with Moth and tell me it doesn't move you.) I confess that i want to become a Gastronaut, and Tales of a Frisco Kid made me want to subscribe to Gourmet (which is a magazine i often pick up, and decide just isn't quite up my foodie alley). I want to photocopy Brownies, a Memoir for izzy - it reminds me of her Bubbe's brownies in spirit. I'd mention them all here, but really - you should just go read this. Each piece seems of higher calibre than those of previous years... and the bar is consistenly high.
