MALLET, Gina - Last Chance to Eat : The Fate of Taste in a Fast Food World - (Paperback)

Book still in a very good condition - Gina was an amazing woman, according to her orbituary.  >>>   Rachel wrote "I'm not sure how to categorize this book. It's part memoir, part investigative journalism, part nostalgia, with a handful of recipes, sprinkled here and there like party favors.  Mallet divides the book into five sections: eggs, cheese, beef, kitchen gardens, and fish. I liked the egg section best and the beef section least. The focus of this book is taste--not health, economics, or environmentalism--and I found the focus refreshing. There's no guilt involved when you're only concerned about what tastes best. The memoir sections were fun, especially the descriptions of the food department at Harrod's during and after WWII."
