VILLAS, JAMES Between Bites: Memoirs of a Hungry Hedonist -- a Life in Food
John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2002. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Sticker remnant on rear dust jacket panel. 2002 Hard Cover. 296 pages. "Great food and stimulating prose come together in this provocative insider's memoir of a life driven by a passion for fine cuisine and the good life. Former Town & Country food and wine editor James Villas not only delivers a delectable tale of his personal and professional odyssey in Between Bites: Memoirs of a Hungry Hedonist; he also provides an exclusive peek at the machinations of America's vibrant gastronomic revolution of the past forty years. By turns witty and poignant, sometimes controversial and irreverent, and always candid and opinionated, this compelling narrative pinpoints the exploits of a personal journey filled with a lively cast of fellow gastronomes: Julia Child, Craig Claiborne, James Beard, Paul Bocuse, M. F. K. Fisher, Jeremiah Tower, and many more. With outspoken revelations about the best and worst of all things gastronomic, Villas celebrates his own rebellious values while commenting freely on the foibles of both contemporary chefs, restaurateurs, and the eating public. James Villas (New York City and East Hampton, NY) is the author of a dozen cookbooks and books on food, and his work has appeared in Esquire, Gourmet, Bon Appetit, Food & Wine, and The New York Times. He is a recipient of the James Beard Award.".
