The United States of Arugula: How We Became a Gourmet Nation by David Kamp
4.0
Gossipy, full of zingers and name-dropping cattiness... Yet, a comprehensive history of foodie culture in America - definitely worth reading!
I enjoyed it because much of it surrounds the history of Northern California cuisine, the ideals of "locally grown" and organic...so much of what I grew up with in San Francisco is discussed and celebrated in this book.
Very entertaining!
