Synopsis

Food Is Never Just Food
When was the last time you felt holy giving someone a meal?
Do you ever look at your plate and wonder, "Who came up with this dish and why?"
When you make a birthday cake, do you feel like an alchemist? Or the star of a movie when you go out to eat?

In this collection of essays, pastry chef Matt Strenger delivers a manifesto for the reimagining of American food culture.

In each section, Chef Matt argues for looking at aspects of America's foodways in a new light. From the role of hospitality in ancient mythology and antiquity to the theatrics of modern restaurants, this book connects the dots from the distant past to a likely and necessary future- one in which American culinary education is resurrected to not just preserve traditions but reverse the trend of childhood obesity.

Bites of culinary history and industry wisdom are seasoned with warm stories from life on the Jersey Shore, delivered with bright humor in this brief, engaging read that may have you looking at your dinner a little more closely.
