“Mr. Behr's territory is his own taste, his own mind.
The essays express the erudite thoughts of a sensualist...
Mr. Behr is so intelligent, so passionate.”
Richard Flaste, The New York Times Book Review
“Behr's prose is literate and low-key, his research prodigious,
his opinions strong but not aggressive.”
Publishers Weekly
“This is food writing with nothing showy about it —
just thoughtful, graceful, self-effacing workmanship.”

| My book The
Artful Eater, first published in 1992 by Atlantic Monthly Press, is
based on writing that appeared in early issues of the quarterly. The 18 chapters
address the raw materials of good food — from salt and pepper to salmon, ham, mustard, beef, apples, vanilla, cream, coffee. I haven't tried to bring the text and all its stories into the present, an effort that would have produced an entirely different book. Instead, I have lightly revised: simplifying, focusing more on taste, and correcting a few errors. The type has been entirely reset and the book has been given a new, more readable design. |
