In this indispensable collection, The New Yorker dishes up a feast of delicious writingâ€“food and drink memoirs, short stories, tell-alls, and poems, seasoned with a generous dash of cartoons. M.F.K. Fisher pays homage to â€œcookery witches,â€ those mysterious cooks who possess â€œan uncanny power over food,â€ and Adam Gopnik asks if French cuisine is done for. There is Roald Dahlâ€™s famous story â€œTaste,â€ in which a wine snobâ€™s palate comes in for some unwelcome scrutiny, and Julian Barnesâ€™s ingenious tale of a lifelong gourmand who goes on a very peculiar diet. Whether youâ€™re in the mood for snacking on humor pieces and cartoons or for savoring classic profiles of great chefs and great eaters, these offerings, from every age of The New Yorkerâ€™s fabled eighty-year history, are sure to satisfy every taste.
