I like to read food blogs and restaurant reviews, but I sometimes wonder, why aren't these people obese or diabetic? Well, here's a book written by a food writer in response to just that. Kaminsky writes in his opening chapters about his experience as a food writer and how he reconciled that with his doctor's advice to lose weight and eat more healthfully. Though some of the stories he tells about extravagant and fanciful meals are beyond the average cook, his advice about using flavors, quality ingredients, portion sizes, and smart choices are easily adoptable. The prose is enjoyable and readable. I particularly liked his chapter about eating on the road since I will be making a cross-country road trip in a few weeks.… (meer)

I approve of a lot of what Peter Kaminsky is saying in this book: not eating processed foods, using good ingredients and learning how to cook them. Given that these are his central tenets, I found the descriptions of fabulous restaurant meals prepared for him by amazing chefs a little hard to stomach after a while. There's a lot of place- and person-name dropping in the book, which doesn't interest me at all. And it really read in places like an extended advertisement for all the other books he's written. Didn't work, I'm afraid.… (meer)
