Shortlisted for the 2020 Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards (ESTWA's) Travel Food & Drink Book of the Year.'This smorgasbord of a tale will have travellers tasting every meal with renewed appreciation.'- National Geographic Feeling stuck in his life, New York Times food writer Jeff Gordinier met René Redzepi, the Danish chef whose restaurant, Noma, has been repeatedly voted the best in the world.

On idyllic Sydney beaches, they forage for sea rocket and wild celery. On a boat in the Arctic Circle, a lone fisherman guides them to - perhaps - the world's finest sea urchins.

- Abstract
A food critic chronicles four years spent traveling with René Redzepi, the renowned chef of Noma, in search of the most tantalizing flavors the world has to offer. “If you want to understand modern restaurant culture, you need to read this book.”—Ruth Reichl, author of Save Me the Plums Hungry is a book about not only the hunger for food, but for risk, for reinvention, for creative breakthroughs, and for connection. Feeling stuck in his work and home life, writer Jeff Gordinier happened into a fateful meeting with Danish chef René Redzepi, whose restaurant, Noma, has been called the best in the world. A restless perfectionist, Redzepi was at the top of his game but was looking to tear it all down, to shutter his restaurant and set out for new places, flavors, and recipes. This is the story of the subsequent four years of globe-trotting culinary adventure, with Gordinier joining Redzepi as his Sancho Panza. In the jungle of the Yucatán peninsula, Redzepi and his comrades go off-road in search of the perfect taco. In Sydney, they forage for sea rocket and sandpaper figs in suburban parks and on surf-lashed beaches. On a boat in the Arctic Circle, a lone fisherman guides them to what may or may not be his secret cache of the world's finest sea urchins. And back in Copenhagen, the quiet canal-lined city where Redzepi started it all, he plans the resurrection of his restaurant on the unlikely site of a garbage-filled lot. Along the way, readers meet Redzepi's merry band of friends and collaborators, including acclaimed chefs such as Danny Bowien, Kylie Kwong, Rosio Sánchez, David Chang, and Enrique Olvera. Hungry is a memoir, a travelogue, a portrait of a chef, and a chronicle of the moment when daredevil cooking became the most exciting and groundbreaking form of artistry.Praise for Hungry“In Hungry, Gordinier invokes such playful and lush prose that the scents of mole, chiles and even lingonberry juice waft off the page.”—Time“This wonderful book is really about the adventures of two men: a great chef and a great journalist. Hungry is a feast for the senses, filled with complex passion and joy, bursting with life. Not only did Jeff Gordinier make me want to jump on the next flight (to Mexico, Copenhagen, Sydney) in search of the perfect meal, but he also reminded me to stop and savor the ride.”—Dani Shapiro, author of Inheritance

- Abstract
Here She Comes Now brings together some of America's best music writers – such as Susan Choi, recipient of the inaugural PEN / W.G. Sebald award, Daniel Walters, whose credits include the screenplay for Heathers, and Alina Simon, whose novel Note to Self was described as'hilarious'by Amanda Palmer - to explore incredible women in popular music. Often wryly amusing – even occasionally heart-rending – and covering artists from Dolly Parton and Nina Simone to Bjork, Taylor Swift and Riot Grrrl pioneer Kathleen Hanna, this is a feisty celebration of the transformative power of musicians who have truly rocked our world. The full list of artists covered is: Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift, Sinéad O'Connor, Mary J. Blige, June Carter Cash, Björk, Ronnie Spector, Laurie Anderson, Judee Sill, Patti Smith, Nina Simone, Poly Styrene, Stevie Nicks, Kim Gordon, Kate Bush, P.J. Harvey, Loretta Lynn, Sandy Denny, Tina Turner, Kathleen Hanna, Liz Phair, Madonna and Miley Cyrus.

Read Jeff Gordinier's posts on the Penguin BlogIn this simultaneously hilarious and incisive'manifesto for a generation that's never had much use for manifestos,'Gordinier suggests that for the first time since the'Smells Like Teen Spirit'breakthrough of the early 1990s, Gen X has what it takes to rescue American culture from a state of collapse. Over the past twenty years, the so-called'slackers'have irrevocably changed countless elements of our culture-from the way we watch movies to the way we make sense of a cracked political process to the way the whole world does business.

I WAS about to slide down a hill when the strangeness of my situation struck me: A poem had brought me here. ''Poetry makes nothing happen,'' W. H. Auden once said, and yet there I was, clawing my way through the wet and lichen-encrusted tangle on a Scottish hillside, with limbs of bracken swatting me in the face and my Wellington boots failing to get a foothold, worried that I was about to face-plant into a pudding of aromatic Hebridean ooze, because of 24 lines of verse.

RESTAURANT reviews - Abstract
''DO you have a favorite restaurant in New York?'' Josh Beckerman asked Jason King. ''Yes or no? Think of it in your head.'' The scene was Lure Fishbar, in SoHo, on a bustling Tuesday night this month. Mr. King was sitting in a booth with a couple of friends, gearing up for dinner. Mr. Beckerman, a 31-year-old product of Long Island who bills himself as ''the foodie magician,'' was standing at the edge of their table in a T-shirt that proclaimed his passion for bacon. He was staring into Mr. King's eyes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

SOME flavors belong so completely to the season that, if you haven't tasted them at least once before Labor Day, you haven't really had a summer. Food writers from The Times shared their memories and recipes for the one warm-weather dish they consider essential eating. I'VE dredged steamers in melted butter at a fish shack in Massachusetts, and I've sipped sun tea on a porch in North Carolina when an August thunderstorm was riding into town to cool everything down, and those are among the moments when I've thought, for at least a minute or two, this is all I need.

FLIES By Michael Dickman. Copper Canyon. Paper, $16. Frank O'Hara once wrote this, in a poem called ''Poetry'': ''The only way to be quiet / is to be quick, so I scare / you clumsily, or surprise / you with a stab.'' It's an instructive passage, not just because it moves with that conversational, come-bounce-along-with-me rhythm that became O'Hara's signature, but because it's a poem about the odd, lovely jolt we can get from an unexpected line. In a way, O'Hara was going straight at something that has become a core quandary of contemporary poetry: How, in a texting, tweeting age that finds us drowning in freshets of language, do you deliver that stab of surprise? Sometimes, quiet and quick is the savviest course of action. That's what you find in Dickman's ''Flies,'' a hushed book that is nevertheless full of lines like fish breaking the surface of a still pond. ''My mother sits on the floor of her new kitchen carefully feeding the flies from her fingertips,'' Dickman writes, with a Sextonish sense of domestic derangement, in ''False Start.'' ''I want to hold you between my teeth,'' he offers in ''Above Love.'' The opening section of ''Emily Dickinson to the Rescue'' can't be printed in a family newspaper, but believe me, it gets your attention. One of Dickman's poems is called ''Imaginary Playground,'' and that phrase could be used to describe the book itself, which returns again and again to blue, unshakable reveries that explore the strangeness of how childhood actually feels to a child. (Especially, maybe, when you've got a twin brother who will also grow up to be a poet.) Many of them, like ''Dead Brother Superhero,'' derive their force and intimacy from a loss in the poet's own life -- the overdose death of his older brother, Darin Hull -- but they're so deftly calibrated that they manage never to be maudlin. This is only Dickman's second book, but like his twin, Matthew, he already seems a major American talent. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
