Brillat-Savarin published his reflections on taste in 1825, a couple of months before his death, thereby writing the text that every food writer since has, in practice, had to reckon with. Here you'll find the aphorisms, the musings on appetite and digestion, and a handful of recipes. The tone is wilfully idiosyncratic and entertaining in a way that keeps the text from feeling two hundred years old. This book delivers more credibility per pound than anything else on the shelf.
