It’s a standout addition to the series." —Publisher''s Weekly (starred review) A collection of the year’s top food writing, selected by prolific food writer and author of How to Cook Everything Mark Bittman. "In almost any culture, at any time, you can find food writing,” writes guest editor Mark Bittman in his introduction. “Food means growing and hardship, and health and medicine, and work and holiday. In its abundance it is a gift and a joy, and in its absence a curse and a tragedy. If a culture has writing, that culture has food writing.” The stories in this year’s Best American Food Writing are brilliant, eye-opening windows into the heart of our country’s culture. From the link between salt and sex, to Syrian refugees transforming ancient Turkish food traditions, to the FDA’s crusade on alternative non-dairy milk options, to Black farmers in Arkansas seeking justice, the scope of these essays spans nearly every aspect of our society. This anthology offers an entertaining and poignant look at how food shapes our lives and how food writing shapes our culture.

Dans cet essai, le célèbre journaliste et écrivain culinaire Mark Bittman décortique l''histoire de l''alimentation pour en tirer d''éd ifiantes conclusions sur celle des humains. La nourriture a tout à voir avec l''impasse où se trouve nos modes de consommation, c''est pourquoi elle peut être la clé pour un avenir plus juste et soutenable. Cette plongée passionnante mais vertigineuse dans notre histoire nous conduit jusqu’à la période actuelle, où l’agro-industrie exacerbe le changement climatique, pille les ressources de notre planète et rend ses habitants malades. Il déboulonne au passage nombre d’idées reçues sur la sécurité alimentaire, la révolution verte et les diverses obsessions, envers le sucre et le cholestérol notamment.

La historia del Homo sapiens suele contarse como una historia de tecnología o economía. Pero hay un motor más fundamental: la alimentación. Cómo cazábamos y recolectábamos explica nuestra aparición como nueva especie y nuestra tecnología más primitiva; nuestros primeros sistemas alimentarios, del fuego a la agricultura, explican dónde nos asentamos y cómo se expandieron las civilizaciones. La búsqueda de alimentos para poblaciones cada vez más numerosas impulsó la exploración, el colonialismo, la esclavitud e incluso el capitalismo. Hace un siglo, la alimentación se industrializó. Desde entonces, los nuevos estilos de agricultura y producción de alimentos han escrito un nuevo capítulo de la historia de la humanidad, que está impulsando tanto el cambio climático como las crisis sanitarias mundiales. Mark Bittman, una autoridad en alimentación y superventas, ofrece una visión panorámica de la historia y explica cómo podemos rescatarnos del giro equivocado moderno

Mark Bittman is one of the nation’s most trusted and beloved food writers, but there was a time when he lived primarily on vanilla ice cream and McDonald’s. Then he discovered cooking, and everything changed. In this story from the new digital publisher Byliner, the New York Times columnist and bestselling author of "How to Cook Everything" traces his journey from grilled-cheese-making neophyte to confident cook. More than that, he makes the case for why all of us should spend more time in the kitchen, regardless of how comfortable we are there. After all, even he was a beginner once.Bittman argues that a simple meal prepared at home is a powerful tool: It’s one small step toward improving your health and, by extension, the health of the planet. Our reliance on prepared food—in the form of snacks, soft drinks, frozen meals, and fast food—supports a system of agriculture that is playing havoc with our bodies, our economy, and the environment. How can we break the cycle? By cooking. “People who prepare meals—even infrequently—achieve outcomes that extend far beyond the morsel at the end of the fork,” writes Bittman. “Cooking may not solve everything, but it solves a lot. When people make food a priority in their lives, they actively contribute to society. Cooking can change our collective lives for the better.”"Cooking Solves Everything" is an engaging manifesto that inspires non-cooks to reach for a pan (Bittman’s shopping list and foolproof recipes will get them started) and encourages all of us to take a closer look at how we feed ourselves and our loved ones.

Back with another splendid collection, the author of "How to Cook Everything" presents more than 100 fast yet sophisticated main courses for home cooks of every level.
