The Unprejudiced Palate : Classic Thoughts on Food and the Good Life (Modern Library Food)
- Book Review,
by ANGELO M. PELLEGRINI, et al

From the Inside Flap
First issued in 1948, when soulless minute steaks and quick casseroles were becoming the norm, The Unprejudiced Palate inspired a seismic culinary shift in how America eats. Written by a food-loving immigrant from Tuscany, this memoir-cum-cookbook articulates the Italian American vision of the good life: a backyard garden, a well-cooked meal shared with family and friends, and a passion for ingredients and cooking that nourish the body and the soul.

Unprejudiced Palate: Classic Thoughts on Food and the Good Life

FROM OUR EDITORS

The Unprejudiced Palate. . . was the first true statement I had read about living as it can and should be in the western coastal America that I love. -- From the Afterword

ANNOTATION

Party the memoir of an Italian-American, partly a discourse on good eating, this volume combines observations and instruction on food and wine.

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Part memoir, part exhortation, part cookbook, and seasoned with warm humor, The Unprejudiced Palace is the vibrant exposition of the place of food and wine in 'the good life.' Pellegrini brings to this uttterly charming book his immigrant Italian perspective and unfettered culinary attitudes. He has created a delicious read for anyone interested in good food, wine, and cooking.

FROM THE CRITICS

San Francisco Chronicle

If you like enthusiastic, high-spirited, intelligent talk about what you eat, this is eminently the book for you.
