Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Eating is the most common way to celebrate in our culture, the most visible way to indulge ourselves. And yet few things have such power over our lives — it controls us as consumers, as social animals, as guilty creatures of appetite. Through a lively mixture of history, memoir, sociology and family recipe, Tisdale explores our public and private attitudes about food, drawing a rich portrait of the many forces behind our American appetite and demystifying the everyday miracle of eating. Review:"Tisdale's forte lies in helping readers to see the big picture...ties together history, folklore, personal anecdote and sharp analysis." Publishers Weekly Review:"It is impossible to put down this book and pick up a fork without thinking differently about the food before you." San Francisco Chronicle Review:"Sallie Tisdale takes subjects that might seem mundane or overdone and renders them unforgettable." San Francisco Examiner Review:"This book reminds us to be mindful of every mouthful." Philadelphia Inquirer Review:"She's an easy, chatty writer who never says anything the way you're expecting, which makes reading her a pleasure." Boston Globe About the AuthorTisdale is a contributing editor at Harper's magazine, and a bi-weekly columnist for Salon. She is the recipient of a NEA Fellowship, a James Phelan Award, a 1999 Pope Foundation Fellowship for journalism, and three National Magazine Award Nominations.
