It Must've Been Something I Ate

Jeffrey Steingarten''s first book, THE MAN WHO ATE EVERYTHING, was an instant classic. Nigella Lawson said, ''I have yet to meet anyone who hasn''t adored this book once they''ve read it.''



Now he has done it again. In this stunning collection of provocative, witty and erudite food essays, Jeffrey Steingarten continues his quest for the perfect meal. He chews over the supreme hors d''oeuvres recipe, embarks on an epic hunt for bluefish tuna, and, in ''The Man Who Cooked for his Dog'', responds to baleful looks from his golden retriever by cooking him dishes of braised short ribs. As ever, it''s a gloriously diverse menu from the man who has dedicated his life to searching out the ultimate in food experiences - at considerable expense to his waistline - for your reading pleasure. Read it and eat!
