I'm addicted to Anthony Bourdain. I don't know if its his cooking, his show or his book or the mere fact that he loves the Ramones as much as I do?

An intelligent discussion about food, what we eat and where it comes from. There's a lot of excited handwaving that happens about food - should you eat local, vegan, organic, macrobiotic - and this book actually takes a measured look at the politics and reality of food. Pollan is quite good and this is perhaps his best book. Entertaining and informative.

This would make for a riveting enough story on its own, but Corson beautifully intersperses the drama with lessons about the history and science of each fish the class encounters, along with the rice and wasabi. He also reveals that just about everything Americans know about eating sushi is wrong, down to using chopsticks to dunk their fish in soy sauce. Foodies will find dozens of useful tips to enhance their appreciation of "the fast food of old Tokyo," especially if they entrust an experienced chef to prepare an omakase meal for them. The combination of culinary insights and personal drama makes for one of the more compelling food-themed books in recent years.
