1.On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the KitchenOn Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen
from Scribner
Price: $26.40

Customer Review:
I think it's important to point out this book is realively small for the degree of degtail it contains. If you want to find out the answers to a great deal of cullinary questions without wading through highly verbose food science texts, then this is your book. It is certainly Europe centric.

2.Secret Ingredients: The New Yorker Book of Food and DrinkSecret Ingredients: The New Yorker Book of Food and Drink
from Random House
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
I gave this book as a gift to my husband. I was happy to find he loves it. He commented about how he enjoyed being able to skip around from one essay to another. He enjoys the variety of the essays from so many diverse authors. And of course, the fact that this book was edited by David Remnick is... more info

3.Everyday Drinking: The Distilled Kingsley AmisEveryday Drinking: The Distilled Kingsley Amis
from Bloomsbury USA
Price: $13.59

Customer Review:
This "everything you wanted to know about" style book on booze is a wonderful addition to anyone's bookcase. Everyday Drinking contains all of the information on alcohol that you could ever desire to know...and delivered through the side splitting rapier's wit of Kingsley Amis. A real treat!

from St. Martin's Press
Price: $16.29

Customer Review:
Greenville, Mississippi, native and former Manhattanite Julia Reed (now of New Orleans) compiled a collection of essays on Southern food and hospitality that are as amusing as they are informative. Recipes of classic Southern dishes supplement the book. Unfortunately there is no index. And sadly... more info

5.The Nasty Bits: Collected Varietal Cuts, Usable Trim, Scraps, and BonesThe Nasty Bits: Collected Varietal Cuts, Usable Trim, Scraps, and Bones
from Bloomsbury USA
Price: $10.17

Customer Review:
I found this book somewhat enjoyable as a self-professed fan of the author. It is a collection of thoughts left out of Kitchen Confidential (or repeats of those thoughts at times) and experiences of his since hitting the road making travel shows.
It is no Kitchen Confidential, but an easy read... more info

6.The Fortune Cookie Chronicles: Adventures in the World of Chinese FoodThe Fortune Cookie Chronicles: Adventures in the World of Chinese Food
from Twelve
Price: $16.49

Customer Review:
As others have said, Ms. Lee writes very well, and most of this was really interesting. But she has a total blind spot about fortune cookies, and for me, there was WAY too much stuff about trying to research exactly who invented them. When I realized that I was starting a THIRD chapter on this same... more info

from W. W. Norton
Price: $14.97

Customer Review:
This is an excellent book on many levels. The quality of the writing is a definite step above most books of this sort. The discussions of regional cuisines, culinary training, and attitudes towards food both contemporary and historical are fascinating. This book, however, is about more than food.... more info

Kitchen Table Wisdom 10th Anniversary
I ordered 2 "New" Kitchen Table Wisdom books to be given as gifts. The cover of one of them was crooked and did not cover the first page. The book was simply not made right. I was not allowed to exchange it for another, just send it back and charged a bit... more info

Customer Review:
Mr. Steingarten should be awarded for writing this book.
I searched in vain for an email address so I could tell him directly how much I enjoyed his book. Leaving a short review here is my own way of saying THANK YOU. I could not have picked up a better companion for my two-month stay in Hanoi,... more info
