Who knew food critics can be funny? Some pieces were very amusing, some informative - all are well written. I learned food can be artistic, political, religious as well as nourishing . There are lessons to be learned and stories told. Just like a menu, you can pick the items you want and leave others for your next visit.

I find this book enjoyable to read aloud to my spouse at the end of the day when we're slowing down. Some of the ideas are intriguing although with multiple authors the writing is definitely uneven. We've enjoyed other books in the same series - the same way - read aloud to each other at bedtime.

If you love to read about food, about fine dining, about trends in food, about the people who prepare food, you will love Best Food Writing of 2010.

Holly Hughes has done all the work of ferreting out the best in food writing and compiled it in one book. You don't have to scour all the blogs, books, new articles and magazine articles because Hughes has done it for you.

It is a great compendium of the best food writing.
