Book Review: somethingtofoodabout
“This book is about food in America, but it isn’t really about food, and it doesn’t start in America.”
I love food. I love looking at food. I love eating food. And yet, I realize that as much of the world has the opportunity to experience the luxury and the art of food, there are still many to whom it is simply nourishment to which they have little access.
Even still, somethingtofoodabout is a journey into the “performance art” of creating a symphony for the senses using a medium safe for human consumption. The book starts with a Foreword by Anthony Bourdain and “First Course” by Questlove which seems to provide a thoughtful glimpse into his creative genius.
The interviews with the ten chefs in this book are poignant and fascinating. And the book’s photography is simply stunning. This is the perfect coffee table book and will certainly make for great dinner party conversation. The interviews are best devoured in small bites over time, each time revealing a bit more inspiration, art, and curiosity.
