  1. I will preface this post, in case you people missed the poster name.

    I am Barry (UK), not Barry.

    I really don't get Barry. An exceptionally intelligent
    and knowledgeable person, who, for whatever reason often decides to
    attack a poster, and always loves to reply to the Religious crosses posters.

    I don't get that. Are you trying to keep up your "Bad Boy" reputation by
    attacking some genuine posters, and as for the "Religious Lunatic" cross
    posters, you know they don't read the replies, so why bother?

    You appear as my "Dark Side", I rarely disagree with anything you post,
    but as to the whys and wherefores, I often don't know why you bother
    posting.

    I think you are a Bona Fide Cook! You could not follow rfc if you were
    not. Give us a recipe instead of the often pointless posts.

    Back to the Subject:
    So here we are, now divested of my Dark Half.

    I would like some recommendations for "Food Writer" books.

    I only have one guiding star to explain "Food Writer", and that is Nigel
    Slater. Kitchen Diaries and Appetite are the benchmark.

    I want to be "in their head" when they write about food.
    Anyone can write a recipe book; Tana Ramsay being a perfect example.
    Wife of Gordon Ramsay (a truly great cook)

    I want to smell, touch and taste the ingredients; all can be done by
    great writing! Hope you all can give me some recommendations.

    As an addendum. I nailed the perfect Pasty today (if you don't know what
    as pasty is... Google it) I won't bother rfc with recipe, but if you
    would like it email me.

    Do you still mean recipe books, but written truly well, or do you want
    just good food-related writing? If the former, consider Edouard de
    Pomiane, Elizabeth David, Richard Olney, Fergus Hernderson (Nose to Tail
    Eating), Zarela Martínez (Food from my Heart), Simon Hopkinson (Roast
    Chicken and Other Stories), and Stéphane Reynaud (Pork and Sons). If
    the latter, try Joseph Wechsberg (Blue Trout and Black Truffles), Simon
    Loftus (Pike in the Basement), and R. W. Apple, Jr. (Apple's Europe).
