Opis

Part autobiography, part culinary history, "Steal the Menu" is former "New York Times" food editor Raymond Sokolov s account of four decades of eating. From his pathbreaking dispatches on nouvelle cuisine in France to finding top-notch Chinese dishes at a New Jersey gas station to picking the brain of the most Michelin-starred chef in the world, Sokolov captures the colorful characters and mouth watering meals that define food today. Throughout, he shares a lifetime of personal anecdotes, including infuriating President Nixon s daughter over a wedding cake, as well as prescient observations on one of the most tumultuous and exciting periods in gastronomic history."
