Think before you eat * Choose the best ingredients you can afford * Understand flavor, and pack us much of it as you can into each bite

As an award-winning food writer, Peter Kaminsky was well acquainted with the occupational hazard of life as a professional eater.  But when his health (and his waistline!) started to suffer, he began to re-think his approach to how and what he consumed. In Culinary Intelligence, his memoir and personal manifesto, Kaminsky explains his practical approach to losing weight: think more about food, rather than less. Here Kaminsky shows, with a hefty dose of humor, the way to better eating without sacrificing on pleasure.
