A review by gretabeth
The United States of Arugula: The Sun Dried, Cold Pressed, Dark Roasted, Extra Virgin Story of the American Food Revolution by David Kamp

2.0

A quick read, but fun (and deliciously gossipy). I feel relatively knowledgeable about the current crop of celebrity chefs, but was lacking background on the big names of the fifties to seventies. Now I see the staid old New York Times Cookbook in a new light and can nod knowingly when my issue of "Fine Cooking" refers offhandedly to Jean-Georges Vongerichten.
