Eating by Jason Epstein

This delicious memoir celebrates a lifetime of pleasure in cooking and eating well, taking us on a culinary tour of the life of the legendary editor of such great chefs and bakers as Alice Waters and Wolfgang Puck and publisher of Norman Mailer and Vladimir Nabokov

"A cornucopia of memories--some personal, some literary, all tied to food--and as many interesting recipes as ruminations." --The Wall Street Journal

From the great restaurants of postwar Paris to the narrow streets of New York's Chinatown today; from a New Year's dinner aboard the old Ile de France with Buster Keaton to an evening at New York's glamorous "21" restaurant with the dreaded Roy Cohn; from Chinese omelettes with the great Jane Jacobs at the edge of the Arctic Ocean to a lobster dinner with the Mailers on Cape Cod, this delicious book celebrates a lifetime of pleasure in cooking and eating well.

The National Book Award for Outstanding Contribution to American Letters was initially given to Jason Epstein, the former editorial director of Random House.
