Title: Slow Food-Half Baked
Product review: If you are looking for an inspiring read about the slow food movement look elsewhere. This book though short should have been much shorter, possibly a magazine article, and would have been served well by an editor with a deft hand in the kitchen. This tough old roast should have been better trimmed of fat, less excessively salted with pompous and sometimes anti-American asides, peppered more frequently with inspiring attitudes about food cooked slowly and with care instead of platitudes about the superiority of the authors mindset and presented without the cheese. This book serves up bombast like it was beluga caviar and would put someone who is being introduced to the slow food movement off their feed. Pass on this and get the latest edition ofBest Food Writing 2008instead. Your sensuous feast with a hot Mediterranean lover has turned out to be more baloney than bolognese.
