A Really Big Lunch showcases Harrison's enthusiastic, funny, and uncompromising views on how to eat, drink, and live well . . . His writing is bodily, bawdy, sharp. The more we have of his voice, the better.--Boston Globe A national bestseller and an Amazon Best Book of the Month in the Cookbook/Food & Wine category, now in paperback,A Really Big Lunch collects many ofNew York Times bestselling author Jim Harrison's essays on food for the first time--and taps into his larger-than-life appetite with wit and verve. In these pieces, Harrison muses on the relationship between hunter and prey, interrogates the obscure language of wine reviews, and delivers a manifesto against the bland, mass-produced food of our time, proposing instead what he calls the Vivid Diet. He delights in food from the most outr? indulgence (a French lunch that went to thirty-seven courses) to asimple bowl of menudo. Harrison's food writing is a program for living, andA Really Big Lunch is shot through with his pointed aper?us and keen delight in the pleasures of the senses. And between the lines the pieces give glimpses of Harrison's life over the last fifteen years. Lovingly introduced by master chef Mario Batali,A Really Big Lunch is a literary delight that will satisfy every appetite. "The collection is chockablock with . . . zingers as well as plenty of half-baked, hilarious theories you can ponder while planning your first summer barbecue."--The Paris Review
