About this product
Product Information
Named a Best Book of 2023 by Financial Times , The Guardian , and BBC's The Food Programme In this engrossing and timely journey to the crossroads of food and identity, award-winning writer Anya von Bremzen explores six of the world's most fascinating and iconic culinary cultures--France, Italy, Japan, Spain, Mexico, and Turkey--brilliantly weaving cuisine, history, and politics into a work of scintillating connoisseurship and charm We all have an idea in our heads about what French food is--or Italian, or Japanese, or Mexican, or . . . But where did those ideas come from? Who decides what makes a national food canon? Recipient of three James Beard awards, Anya von Bremzen has written definitive cookbooks on Russian, Spanish, and Latin American cuisines, as well as her internationally acclaimed memoir Mastering the Art of Soviet Cooking . Now in National Dish , she sets out to investigate the truth behind the eternal cliché--"we are what we eat"--traveling to six storied food capitals, going high and low, from world-famous chefs to scholars to strangers in bars, in search of how cuisine became connected to place and identity. Paris is where the whole idea of food as national heritage was first invented, and so it is where Anya must begin. With an inquisitive eye and unmistakable wit, she ponders the codification of French food and the current tension between locavorism and globalization. From France, she's off to Naples, to probe the myth and reality of pizza, pasta, and Italian-ness. Next up, Tokyo, where Anya and her partner Barry explore ramen, rice, and the distance between Japan's future and its past. From there they move to Seville, to search for the community-based essence of Spain's tapas traditions, and then Oaxaca, where debates over postcolonial cultural integration find expression in maize and mole. In Istanbul, a traditional Ottoman potluck becomes a lens on how a former multicultural empire defines its food heritage. Finally, they land back in their beloved home in Queens, for a dinner centered on Ukrainian borsch, a meal that has never felt more loaded, or more precious and poignant. A unique and magical cook's tour of the world, National Dish brings us to a deep appreciation of how the country makes the food, and the food the country.

Reviews
"Vivid . . . for readers who appreciate a sensorial journey and eschew arriving at easy conclusions, this will hit the spot." -- Booklist "Revealing and richly detailed . . . Fans of food and travel writing will want to sink their teeth into this." -- Publishers Weekly (starred review) "In this piquant platter of a book, von Bremzen tackles questions of culture, history, and the meaning of a good meal . . . Her vivid narrative is packed with intriguing characters, and in some countries, conversations about the food can be as important as the dish itself." -- Kirkus "Anya von Bremzen, already a legend of food writing and a storytelling inspiration to me, has done her best work yet. National Dish is a must-read for all those who believe in building longer tables where food is what bring us all together." -- José Andrés "Nobody writes about food like Anya Von Bremzen. In this smart, personal, and compulsively readable book she takes on history, politics, love and flavor to show us the real meaning of what we eat." --Ruth Reichl "Every dish tells a story. A powerful storyteller herself, Anya von Bremzen blends historical research and beautiful writing into this absorbing crazy-smart book about how food defines who we are and where we come from. Whether she''s decoding pizza in Naples or tortillas in Mexico, Anya is your perfect guide to the profound subjects of nationalism, food, and identity. And she''s often funny as hell." --Rene Redzepi, chef & co-owner of Noma "Enchanting, fascinating, thought-provoking, and humorous. Storytelling that brings people, culture, and history together through the lens of food." --Claudia Roden, author of Claudia Roden''s Mediterranean "It''s a great pleasure to follow Anya von Bremzen as she brings her characteristic wit, curiosity, and agility as a prose stylist to make sense of this current moment in which what we eat has become so closely bound to identity. She writes with the intimacy of your most erudite friend telling you a story. This is a masterfully woven study, both edifying and entertaining, from one of the finest writers on food today." -- Mayukh Sen, author of Taste Makers: Seven Immigrant Women Who Revolutionized Food in America "Any new book by Anya von Bremzen is cause for celebration for curious cooks and readers. Whether she''s writing about the hidden restaurants of Cuba, the modern chefs of Spain, or telling deeply poignant stories of the table of the Soviet Union where she grew up, she always balances the pleasures of the palate and the mind. In National Dish , she explores not just why people care about their food, but how food makes us a people." --Francis Lam, host of The Splendid Table "In this eye-opening book, Anya von Bremzen travels the world to search beyond the cliches of iconic foods like ramen, pizza, or tapas--showing us how their stories are tied to colonialism, nationalism, religion, race, and more. Full of delicious scenes, colorful characters, and fascinating historical facts, National Dish is both thought-provoking and hugely entertaining to read." -- Kwame Onwuachi, chef, author, and restaurateur "Anya von Bremzen''s tour of world cuisines, from France to Japan to Turkey to Mexico, is written as both an elegant entertainment and a love letter to those cuisines. But it''s also a meditation on the paradox of national identity that will seduce the gastronomic curiosity of any world traveler." --Lawrence Osborne, author of The Forgiven and On Java Road "Anya von Bremzen''s National Dish is a revelation, giving us hard truths about where our food traditions really come from. What we cherish about great food cultures--the genuine origins, the long historical roots--turns out to be in no small part myth, and of surprisingly recent vintage, yet National Dish is an exceedingly hopeful read." -- Dan Barber, chef and co-owner of Blue Hill and author of The Third Plate, "Any new book by Anya von Bremzen is cause for celebration for curious cooks and readers. Whether she's writing about the hidden restaurants of Cuba, the modern chefs of Spain, or telling deeply poignant stories of the table of the Soviet Union where she grew up, she always balances the pleasures of the palate and the mind. In National Dish , she explores not just why people care about their food, but how food makes us a people." --Francis Lam, host, The Splendid Table "Every dish tells a story.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
