## Description

In Beard on Food , one of America's great culinary thinkers and teachers collects his best essays, ranging from the perfect hamburger to the pleasures of oxtails, from salad dressing to Sauce Diable. The result is not just a compendium of fabulous recipes and delicious bites of writing. It's a philosophy of food-unfussy, wide-ranging, erudite, and propelled by Beard's exuberance and sense of fun. In a series of short, charming essays, with recipes printed in a contrasting color (as they were in the beloved original edition), Beard follows his many enthusiasms, demonstrating how to make everyday foods into delicious meals. Covering meats, vegetables, fish, herbs, and kitchen tools, Beard on Food is both an invaluable reference for cooks and a delightful read for armchair enthusiasts. (For more information, visit the James Beard Foundation at www.jamesbeard.org.) Praise for James Beard: "In matters of the palate James Beard is absolutely to be trusted…He is always on target."-Chicago Tribune "James Beard has done more than anybody else to popularize good food in America."-New York Times "Beard was an innovator, an experimenter, a missionary in bringing the gospel of good cooking to the home table."-Craig Claiborne "Too much of James Beard can never be enough for me."-Gael Greene

Review: Good Food and Attainable Results - This is not a recipe-driven cookbook, although there are many recipes in it. I read cookbooks like some people read summer novels--and this one was such a treat. Each recipe comes with an essay, or homage to that food. His celebration of each food is just wonderful. My favorite chapter was the one on Bread, Cheese, and Wine, closely followed by Handwork and Gadgetry. His passion around bread is clear to see. James Beard was generally a food leader before I graduated from cookies and cakes and 4-H. I wish I had been introduced to his work earlier.
Review: Super lovely - Lovely food journey from one of the revered Chef, food historian, and all around good guy. Worked for him one summer, loved the experience and the camaraderie and

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great naritive
*by D***R on April 3, 2014*

If you liked the late Mr. Beards cookbooks you might like this. Kind of like sitting down with him and just chatting about good food. His great knowledge of food is displayed in an unpretentious manner with charm and grace. Takes you back to a not to distant time where a meal was savored and remembered.
