Produktbeschreibungen
Amazon.co.uk
Jeffrey Steingarten was a lawyer until 1989, when an invitation to write for American Vogue effected his metamorphosis into a food writer--unquestionably a higher form of life. As the self-styled Man Who Ate Everything, he could allow himself no favourite foods nor irrational dislikes; consequently, the first piece in the book describes his heroic efforts to purge himself of all food phobias in preparation for his new post. The Six-Step Programme he devised was largely successful: as a result, kimchi (Korean pickled cabbage), anchovies, Greek food and clams ("I feel a mild horror about what goes on in the moist darkness between the shells of all bivalves...is the horror deeper than I know?) all assumed a place in his diet. He became the "perfect omnivore". Now he seems to travel the world, eating. The Man Who Ate Everything deals to a certain extent with food and cooking, but its real subject (aside from Steingarten himself) is our attitude towards what we eat--what our food choices reveal about us. So he discusses the complex issues surrounding choosing the best brand of bottled water; the pros and cons of cooking "French" fries in horse fat; the deadly toxins that infest a virginal salad. He travels to Alsace in pursuit of le Veritable Choucroute Garni, to Piedmont to join white-truffle hunters, to Kyoto to worship at the shrine of kaiseki ryori, formal Japanese haute cuisine. By turns witty, learned, satirical and riotously farcical, The Man Who Ate Everything is never less than passionate about his subject. --Robin Davidson

Format:Taschenbuch
If you love cooking and enjoy good food, this is the book for you! Jeffrey Steingarten takes you along as he searches for the best granita, the perfect french fries and the best restaurants. You get to explore places and cities all around the world - from his own home kitchen to small towns in Italy. A wonderful book for summer reading.
Keep in mind that this is not a cookbook. There are some recipes but this is a book about the cooking, baking and eating experience.

I love food and I love to cook and a friend of mine who knew me well gave me this book as a gift. I laughed, I craved, I taste-tested, it was fabulous! I highly recommend this book to anyone who likes to cook or eat. Steingarten is funny and thorough and I guarantee that you will be fiending for at least one of these foods before you are finished.
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe
After reading several of the less than positive reviews, I have this to say: As with really good food, you may want to pace yourself through this book. I delight in Mr. Steingarten's articles in Vogue, but found myself putting down and picking up the book. He goes into some great detail about his subject -- so great that sometimes it is difficult to bounce right to the next essay/subject. One great reason to continue reading: a recipe for Milkyway Cake! mmmmmmm, chocolaty goodness.

An entertaining and informative collection
Maybe he didn't really eat "everything;" but Steingarten seems to have come close. Once one gets past Steingarten's gourmand snobbery, this is a highly enjoyable and... Lesen Sie weiter...

Half-witty and worth half of the reviews
I thought the author of this book tried too hard to create experiences for himself to write about. I like to be engrossed in a book, to be disappointed when I have to put it... Lesen Sie weiter...

Light touch and obsession with detail work well
Steingarten's book was a delightful and obsessive encounter with food. The persona he adopts--self mocking, witty, and driven--charmed me throughout the book.

Not as good as the reviews sounded.
I was pretty disappointed in Steingarten's book. It's certainly not as riveting or entertaining as I expected from other reviews. Lesen Sie weiter...

A very enjoyable good read!
I enjoyed every word of this book, but know that I am a 'foodie'. Jeffrey Steingarten presents his journey through food fads, nutrition and gourmet restaurants. Lesen Sie weiter...

Very Funny in Parts, but a little too long
The author is quite funny in places, but ultimately one can read only so many descriptions of food. The best parts of the book are the more general essays on bread, ketchup,... Lesen Sie weiter...
