The Upstairs Delicatessen: On Eating, Reading, Reading About Eating, and Eating While Reading
by Dwight GarnerGarner gathers a literary chorus to capture the joys of reading and eating in this comic, personal classic. Reading and eating, like Krazy and Ignatz, Sturm und Drang, prosciutto and melon, Simon and Schuster, and radishes and butter, have always, for me, simply gone together. The book you’re holding is a product of these combined gluttonies.Dwight Garner, the beloved New York Times critic and the author of Garner’s Quotations, serves up the intertwined pleasures of books and food. The product of a lifetime of obsessively reading, eating, and every combination therein, The Upstairs Delicatessen: On Eating, Reading, Reading About Eating, and Eating While Reading is a charming, emotional memoir, one that only Garner could write. In it, he records the voices of great writers and the stories from his life that fill his mind as he moves through the sections of the day and of this book: breakfast, lunch, shopping, the occasional nap, drinking, and dinner.Through his lifelong infatuation with these twin joys, we meet the man behind the pages and the plates, and a portrait of Garner, eager and insatiable, emerges. He writes with tenderness and humor about his mayonnaise-laden childhood in West Virginia and Naples, Florida (and about his father’s famous peanut butter and pickle sandwich), his mind-opening marriage to a chef from a foodie family (“Cree grew up taking leftover frog legs to school in her lunch box”), and the words and dishes closest to his heart. This is a book to be savored, though it may just whet your appetite for more.

The Meth Lunches: Food and Longing in an American City
by Kim FosterJames Beard Award–winning author Kim Foster reveals a new portrait of hunger and humanity in America. Food is a conduit for connection; we envision smiling families gathered around a table—eating, happy, content. But what happens when poverty, mental illness, homelessness, and addiction claim a seat at that table? In The Meth Lunches, Kim Foster peers behind the polished visions of perfectly curated dinners and charming families to reveal the complex reality when poverty and food intersect. Whether it’s heirloom vegetables or a block of neon-yellow government cheese, food is both a basic necessity and a nuanced litmus test: what and how we eat reflects our communities, our cultures, and our place in the world. The Meth Lunches gives a glimpse into the lives of people living in Foster’s Las Vegas community—the grocery store cashier who feels safer surrounded by food after surviving a childhood of hunger; the inmate baking a birthday cake with coffee creamer and Sprite; the unhoused woman growing scallions in the slice of sunlight on her passenger seat. This is what food looks like in the lives of real people. The Meth Lunches reveals stories of dysfunction intertwined with hope, of the insurmountable obstacles and fierce determination all playing out on the plates of ordinary Americans. It’s a bold invitation to pull up a chair and reconsider our responsibilities to the most vulnerable among us. Welcome to the table.

Det vegetariska livet: Ett sätt för dig att hjälpa till att rädda mänskligheten... (Hur man... #125)
by Owen JonesVegetarianism har varit en kulinarisk filosofi i tusentals år, men inte så mycket i västvärlden förrän i början av 1900-talet då den återupplivades. Den anammades av hippierörelsen på sextio- och sjuttiotalet eftersom de hämtade inspiration från öst och i synnerhet buddhismen. Hippiernas barn fortsatte sedan den livsstilen som deras föräldrar hade gett dem och har nu fört den vidare till sina egna barn. I dag finns det få städer, hur små de än är, som inte har en vegetarisk restaurang. Detta är inte en receptbok, även om den tar upp vegetarisk mat och ger några exempel på recept. Den är egentligen till för dem som vill veta mer om vegetarianism, kanske för att bättre förstå rörelsen eller sina vegetariska vänner och familjemedlemmar. Jag hoppas att du kommer att finna informationen hjälpsam, användbar och lönsam.
