Best Food Writing 2007 by Holly Hughes

3.0

I came across this collection of food writing at a used book store that was having a 50% off sale, and I was familiar with this particular "brand" sine I had read some of their travel collections back in college. I figured reading an older edition would be interesting to see what has stayed similar and what has changed in the last decade or so, in regards to food in general. Like expected, some things are exactly the same, while others trends felt new in 2007 and are common place now, such as food trucks. It's kind of hard to review or grade it as a whole, since as a collection, there's probably 100 different articles with just as many authors. I do appreciate how the editor grouped the articles into different sections, such as meat, or home cooking. It's very easy to pick up the book for one or two articles and then put it down for months since it isn't a linear story, so I actually read it over the course of a year in between other things I was reading, but for the most part, I did enjoy Ms. Hughes' collection.
