Review:

USA Today, 11/4/10
“With this typically delectable and eclectic collection of culinary prose, editor Holly Hughes proves her point made in the intro that the death of 68-year-old Gourmet magazine a year ago didn't lead to the demise of quality food journalism...There's a mess of vital, provocative, funny and tender stuff...in these pages.”

Technorati.com, 12/8/10“Best Food Writing is a scrumptious read...a foodies’ version of a classic collection of short stories...Readers will enjoy the variety of subjects—from ‘Dining Around’ to ‘Home Cooking’—as well as the fine writing. Articles are interesting, engaging, and amusing; I’ll bet you can’t read just one.” Cleveland Plain Dealer, 12/12/10
“There’s something for every taste in this 11th annual volume of literary tapas.”

Gluten Free Living, Winter Issue
“If following a gluten-free diet sometimes gets you down, here is a great book to pick up to revive your interest in living. Sure you will not be able to eat everything you read about, but you will feel better at the sheer artistry with the printed word that these writers bring. This book would be a great gift for anyone.”
