| 2. |  | In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto
from Penguin Audio
Customer Review:
I bought the paper book and got halfway through it before buying the audio version -- after realizing I have more time to drive than to read. This is an excellent, concise and eminently sensible book about how the food scientists and food industry and even the government have sacrificed our natural... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Tantor Media
Price: $16.49
Customer Review:
I was on board with this book (in audio form) initially, then they got into meat, and were really zealots about it! I have nothing against Vegan folks, to each their own, but this book was disguised as a funny get real book about weight loss, that turned into some kind of podium for why we must all... more info | 3.0 / 5.0

from Hachette Audio
Price: $10.19
Customer Review:
I loved this book. If you're a fan of Amy Sedaris, it's absolutely perfect and her humor.
I found the 1 star reviews here pretty hilarious. If you read the reviews and descriptions, or even google Amy Sedaris you're going to know immediately the kind of humor in a book like this. Who buys a... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 5. |  | Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly
from Random House Audio
Price: $13.57
Customer Review:
By all accounts, this should be a lousy book. The life story of a middle-aged, former substance-abusing, self-described SOB and good-but-not-great chef. In the hands of most people, this would be a rambling, uninteresting memoir that would never see the light of day. The fact that Bourdain pulls it... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

This was an excellent book! It was very inspirational to me. It makes you realize that when you want something in life you have to be strong; you have to go out and get it.

Customer Review:
I was at a school-related conference (I work for a school district) and one part of it was led by a dietician. Her part lasted less than 30 minutes but during her discussion, she told the group to read this book if we wanted the real picture of how bad fast food is for children and the general... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I first became acquainted with the concept of Energy Density several years prior to reading this book. I read Rick Gallops book "The GI Diet" which introduced me to another book "Mayo Clinic on Healthy Weight" several years ago. The marvelous Mayo food pyramid is based on energy or calorie density.... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I really don't cook but this is one of the top "passion for food vs. inside the food business" books out there, e.g Kitchen Confidential style. This, like the others, is fantastically interesting and fun to read. Mario Batalli features prominently in this book - and it's biographical in that regard... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Reading the description of The Sharper Your Knife, The Less You Cry, gave me high expectations about memoirs of a woman who was willing to follow her heart and fulfill a longtime soulful desire. The testimonial from Elizabeth Gilbert only served to heighten my expectation (espcially since which Ms.... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
