Jacket Description/Back:
Drawn from cuisines around the globe--French, Italian, Chinese, and Indian, but also Senegalese, Lebanese, Thai, and good old-fashioned American--here are the tastes, ingredients, restaurants, dishes, and recipes (more than 70) that every food lover should experience or dream about, whether it's dinner at Chicago's Alinea, the perfect empanada, or a stroll in the markets of Palermo. Joyous, surprising, informative, and described in mouthwatering detail, each entry shines with the passion of one of the world's most celebrated food writers saying: You must try this. Nuts-and-bolts information at the end of each entry tells you where to taste the dish or find the ingredients, and where to go for the best recipes or find further information.

Review Quotes:
"Mimi Sheraton was one of the few critics or writers on food who, had she expressed displeasure with me, would have caused me to consider quitting the business. As a chef, I feared and respected her. As a writer and observer and enthusiast--as someone who travels largely on his stomach--I can tell you that what Mimi doesn't know is hardly worth knowing. This fat, comprehensive guide to the 1,000 foods to eat before dying is just that: 1,000 foods you NEED to try, urgently. Read ... and seek."
-- Anthony Bourdain, author, host, enthusiast

"Her voluminous guidebook is an alphabetical cornucopia of food types and sources..."
-- The New York Times

"From abalone to za'tar, Zingermans to Achatz, and lampascioni to lasagna, Mimi Sheraton has scoured the world--both cerebral and physical--to discover the most delicious and thoughtful comestibles. Her taste is intuitive, her curiosity insatiable, and the breadth of her knowledge, research, and experience is encyclopedic. A perfect book for expert and neophyte, it's the definitive roadmap to gustatory revelations, wherever you are."
-- Mario Batali, chef, author, restaurateur, philanthropist

"If you love food, this is a book to read before you die! Mimi Sheraton's knowledge of the world's foods is legendary, as is the sharpness of her opinions. On nearly every page of 1,000 Foods to Eat Before You Die I've learned something new or honed my own judgment on hers. And with its links to sources and resources all over the world, I'll be dining in and out on it for years to come."
-- Harold McGee, author of On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen and Keys to Good Cooking: A Guide to Making the Best of Food and Recipes

"There is no one more authoritative than Mimi Sheraton to help you discover 1,000 Foods to Eat Before You Die. And that's because she has actually eaten each and every one of them with gusto, and with one of the world's most discerning and educated palates. This book may just become my go-to source for new menu ideas at our restaurants!"
-- Danny Meyer, restaurateur and author of Setting the Table: The Transforming Power of Hospitality in Business

"Informative, evocative, and entertaining. It's a pleasure to check off the foods you've eaten and to plan to try the ones you haven't yet enjoyed."
-- Marcus Samuelsson, cookbook author, chef, owner of Red Rooster Harlem

-- Daniel Humm, chef/owner, Eleven Madison Park and The NoMad

"Who else would you trust on topics ranging from English jellied eel to hokey pokey ice cream from New Zealand and everything in between? Only the well seasoned Mimi Sheraton."
-- Grant Achatz, chef/co-owner Alinea, Next, the Aviary

"Mimi Sheraton has always reminded us that eating is an activity as much of the imagination as of the palate and the tongue. In 1,000 Foods to Eat Before You Die, she reaps the rich harvest of her prodigious gifts of endless curiosity, lightly worn knowledge, and elegance of style. She has provided us with a feast to be tasted and savored with the greatest pleasure."
-- Mary Gordon, author of The Liar's Wife and Final Payments

Publisher Marketing:

The ultimate gift for the food lover. In the same way that 1,000 Places to See Before You Die reinvented the travel book, 1,000 Foods to Eat Before You Die is a joyous, informative, dazzling, mouthwatering life list of the world's best food. The long-awaited new book in the phenomenal 1,000 . . . Before You Die series, it's the marriage of an irresistible subject with the perfect writer, Mimi Sheraton--award-winning cookbook author, grande dame of food journalism, and former restaurant critic for The New York Times.

1,000 Foods fully delivers on the promise of its title, selecting from the best cuisines around the world (French, Italian, Chinese, of course, but also Senegalese, Lebanese, Mongolian, Peruvian, and many more)--the tastes, ingredients, dishes, and restaurants that every reader should experience and dream about, whether it's dinner at Chicago's Alinea or the perfect empanada. In more than 1,000 pages and over 550 full-color photographs, it celebrates haute and snack, comforting and exotic, hyper-local and the universally enjoyed: a Tuscan plate of Fritto Misto. Saffron Buns for breakfast in downtown Stockholm. Bird's Nest Soup. A frozen Milky Way. Black truffles from Le Périgord.

Mimi Sheraton is highly opinionated, and has a gift for supporting her recommendations with smart, sensuous descriptions--you can almost taste what she's tasted. You'll want to eat your way through the book (after searching first for what you have already tried, and comparing notes). Then, following the romance, the practical: where to taste the dish or find the ingredient, and where to go for the best recipes, websites included.
