Sinossi

Surprising Food Myths tackles the pervasive food-related beliefs that shape our eating habits and cultural identities. It examines common myths, like whether sugar truly causes hyperactivity in children, and explores the surprising realities behind them, drawing from scientific literature, historical records, and expert interviews. The book reveals how folklore, marketing, and scientific misunderstandings contribute to the creation and persistence of these myths, often impacting our health and dietary choices. Did you know the "five-second rule" has some basis in surface science, or that the advice to wait before swimming after eating is more about pool crowding than cramps?

 
The book begins by exploring the origins and psychology behind food myths, then dismantles specific myths related to nutrition, food safety, and cooking techniques. It emphasizes the importance of understanding the science behind our food beliefs to make informed decisions. By presenting complex information in an accessible style and avoiding technical jargon, Surprising Food Myths empowers readers to critically evaluate food-related information, unravel cultural biases, and adopt healthier eating habits. The book concludes with actionable advice on navigating dietary choices.

A Really Big Lunch

Jim Harrison, Mario Batali

New York Times bestselling author Jim Harrison was one of this country’s most beloved writers, a muscular, brilliantly economic stylist with a salty wisdom. He also wrote some of the best essays on food. A Really Big Lunch collects many of his food pieces for the first time—and taps into his larger-than-life appetite with wit and verve. 
Jim Harrison’s legendary gourmandise is on full display in this book, from the titular New Yorker piece about a French lunch that went to thirty-seven courses, to pieces from Brick, Playboy, Kermit Lynch Newsletter, and more. A Really Big Lunch is shot through with Harrison’s pointed comments and keen delight in the pleasures of the senses. And, between the lines, the pieces give glimpses of Harrison’s life over the last three decades. 
A Really Big Lunch is a literary delight that will satisfy every appetite.
