Clara Moore

Eh... This book was ok. Definitely not one of my favorite foodie books. Basically the majority of the book was descriptions upon descriptions of food stores, farmer markets, etc. Yes there was some useful information in there such as every tool a cook should have in their kitchen, explanation of meats, spices, vegetables and foods from different cultures.

What we need is a library full of books like this. People crave local foods which reflect the broad ethnic diversity of this nation. I commend Clara Moore and Matt Sorrell in their accomplishment of this task for the city of St. Louis. This well written digest of local neighborhoods, shops, stores, and resources is peppered with recipes, resources for non- "St.Louis-ers" (I made that up!) which reflects the vibrance of not only St. Louis but America. I will be calling Volpi's for salami, The Smokehouse Market for some real sausages, and several others. This book is a St. Louis Foodies dream. Get it - read it - and go forth and eat great things!… (altro)
