I have yet to meet anyone who hasn't adored this book
Nigella Lawson This book is gastronomic writing of the highest order, deserving a place alongside Elizabeth David and M. F. K. Fisher.
Independent
A unique gastronomic sociology, an engrossing journey to America's heart through the grisly contents of its stomach
The Times
Here is ... Read morea great feast of a volume, a banquet of a book. It is both long and rich, full of intense flavours, new discoveries, unexpected contrasts . . . Splendid.
Sunday Telegraph
Like the best modern-day food writers, Steingarten's style is a mix of wittily intellectual inquiry and glorious gluttony . . . Little escapes his scrutiny, humour or delight.
The Times
Absolutely not to be missed.
Jennifer Paterson
There are only a handful of writers who combine cookery journalism with food reportage, and it is excellent to have a polymath with the charm and literary skill to enlighten and amuse us on a subject whose importance is so easily and regularly trivialised
Times Literary Supplement
Only a reader with a hard heart, an incurious stomach or a hopelessly dormant sense of humour will fail to be charmed and captivated by his exhaustive exploration of all things gustatory'
Los Angeles Times
Wonderfully extreme
Independent
Wildly funny . . . but funny with a purpose: to celebrate what is good and attack (savagely) what is awful. Learned, well-written, contentious, passionate.'
Guardian
Like all great food writing, The Man Who Ate Everything celebrates much more than the journey from plate to palate . . . An excellent investment.
