The Man Who Ate Too Much: The Life of James Beard,John Birdsall-
WW Norton & Co
After the Second World War, a newly affluent United States reached for its own gourmet culture, one at ease with the French international style of Escoffier, but also distinctly American. Enter James Beard, authority on cooking and eating, his larger-than-life presence and collection of whimsical bow ties were synonymous with the nation\u2019s food for decades, even after his death in 1985.\nIn the first biography of Beard in twenty-five years, acclaimed writer John Birdsall argues that Beard\u2019s struggles as a closeted gay man directly influenced his creation of an American cuisine. Starting in the 1920s, Beard escaped loneliness and banishment by travelling abroad to places where people ate for pleasure, not utility, and found acceptance at home by crafting an American ethos of food likewise\n\nThe Man Who Ate Too Much \u2013 The Life of James Beard\nThe Life of James Beard\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail;
