kairosdreaming 's review for:
The Best American Food Writing 2019
by Samin Nosrat (ed.)
I've been enjoying these collections of the 'Best American' food writing. Filled with a wide array of topics that relate to food but can cover politics, environment, and sociology, they offer brief insights to some of the most pertinent topics going on at the time. This one of course is a few years back, but still offered valuable insight on farming practices and other themes that are probably still prevalent.
Edited by Nosrat, these articles were carefully curated. While they weren't all particularly engaging for me, there were several that were standouts; particularly the entry from Twitty, whose book on genetics and food I read earlier this year. I also found the article on Epic, Tanka, and Bison Bars interesting as I remember the advertising (for at least one of those products) and was surprisingly unsurprised as to which company found more consumer success through no fault of their own.
This was a solid edition to the Best series.
