You can gauge a people's overall condition by the quality of its food. Americans typically allow themselves ill-prepared, ill-presented, fast, neurotic, unhealthy, and tasteless food. Leslie Cerier's book offers imaginative ways to restore health and taste, providing practical information, great recipes, and a fresh vision of what eating could be.
