Customer Reviews

Thorough and thougtful

If Robert Clark didn't live in James Beard's pocket for 80-odd years he has certainly figured out how to sound like he did. Mr. Clark manages to be both fair, critical and exhaustive, showing Beard with all his many warts, yet without diminishing the man's talents, charm and greatness of spirit. A well researched, well-written, fascinating and useful book and an essential book for anyone interested in food and food history.
