  The Man Who Changed the Way We...

  In the 1950s, America was a land of overdone roast beef and canned green beans-a gastronomic wasteland. Most restaurants relied on frozen, second-rate ingredients and served bogus "Continental" cuisine. Authentic French, Italian, and Chinese foods were virtually unknown. There was no such thing as food criticism at the time, and no such thing as a restaurant critic. Cooking at home wasn't thought of as a source of pleasure. Guests didn't chat around the kitchen. Professional equipment and cookware were used only in restaurants. One man changed all that.From the bestselling author of Alice Waters and Chez Panisse comes the first biography of the passionate gastronome and troubled genius who became the most powerful force in the history of American food-the founding father of the American food revolution. From his first day in 1957 as the food editor of the New York Times, Craig Claiborne was going to take his readers where they had never been before. Claiborne extolled the pleasures of exotic cuisines from all around the world, and with his inspiration, restaurants of every ethnicity blossomed. So many things we take for granted now were introduced to us by Claiborne-crème fraîche, arugula, balsamic vinegar, the Cuisinart, chef's knives, even the salad spinner.He would give Julia Child her first major book review. He brought Paul Bocuse, the Troisgros brothers, Paul Prudhomme, and Jacques Pépin to national acclaim. His $4,000 dinner for two in Paris was a front-page story in the Times and scandalized the world. And while he defended the true French nouvelle cuisine against bastardization, he also reveled in a well-made stew or a good hot dog. He made home cooks into stars-Marcella Hazan, Madhur Jaffrey, Diana Kennedy, and many others. And Claiborne made dinner an event-whether dining out, delighting your friends, or simply cooking for your family. His own dinner parties were legendary.Claiborne was the perfect Mississippi gentleman, but his inner life was one of conflict and self-doubt. Constrained by his position to mask his sexuality, he was imprisoned in solitude, never able to find a stable and lasting love. Through Thomas McNamee's painstaking research and eloquent storytelling, The Man Who Changed the Way We Eat unfolds a history that is largely unknown and also tells the full, deep story of a great man who until now has never been truly known at all.

  If you have bought this book, I’m sure you are keen to learn about holistic living and herbal healing. Many of us have heard about the power of everyday natural ingredients, but most of us stayed far from these concoctions and teas as we didn’t know where to begin. Many even think it’s hard and can drill a hole into your pocket. 
  What if I give you a one-stop formula to prepare all these herbal concoctions at home? Over the years, we have recognized the importance and benefits of leading a holistic life. This book is your one-stop-all for herbal remedies that nurture and heal the whole family. 
  When I started years ago, it was frustrating. I was leading a hectic and chaotic lifestyle, but it started taking a toll on my health. I was working a job I loved, but there was no work-life balance. After working for 16 hours at a stretch, eating all kinds of junk foods, and being stuck in traffic while traveling back home, I could only crash on the bed. My work-hard and party-harder lifestyle did not help my well-being either. 
  At one point, I was suffering through multiple health issues and hit rock bottom with my mental health. One day, I decided I couldn’t go on like this anymore, and that was when I took the right steps to change my life.
