Dig in, and it is likely to persuade you that this Clark Kent of a food editor really did exert superpowers on the cultural life of twentieth-century America” (\u003ci\u003eThe Washington Post\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1957, America was a gastronomic wasteland. One man changed all that. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom his perch at the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times, \u003c\/i\u003eCraig Claiborne led America’s food revolution. He took readers where they had never been before, and brought Julia Child and Jacques Pépin to national acclaim. He introduced us to the foods and tools we take for granted today, from crème fraîche and balsamic vinegar to arugula and the salad spinner. And he turned dinner into an event—dining out, delighting your friends, or simply cooking for your family. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut the passionate gastronome led a conflicted personal life. Forced to mask his sexuality, he was imprisoned in solitude and searched for stable and lasting love. In \u003ci\u003eThe Man Who Changed the Way We Eat, \u003c\/i\u003eacclaimed biographer Thomas McNamee unfolds a new history of American gastronomy and reveals in full a great man who until now has never been truly known.","brand":"McNamee, Thomas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52337261969682,"sku":"9781451698442","price":6.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/9238\/5846\/files\/23808263482704.jpg?v=1780438434","url":"https:\/\/hbswarehousesale.com\/products\/craig-claiborne-and-the-american-food-revoluti-paperback","provider":"Harvard Book Store Warehouse Sale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
