En savoir plus sur le livre

Remember the days before the dot.com explosion and the Age of Information, when time was abundant for relaxation, cooking, and sustainable living? Today, we rush through meals while multitasking, sacrificing true nourishment for convenience. Carlo Petrini, founder of Slow Food International, advocates for a return to enjoying life fully, rejecting overly processed foods and embracing the pleasure of taste. With over 60,000 members worldwide, the Slow Food movement promotes the idea that the slow shall inherit the earth. This anthology, drawn from five years of the quarterly journal Slow, features more than 100 articles on diverse topics, from "Falafel" to "Fat City," providing an armchair tour of global culinary experiences. Readers will explore Vietnam's Snake Tavern and discover cultural connections, such as why Tandoori Chicken is a favorite in Indian cinema. Contributed by top food writers, this collection highlights the growing Slow Food movement in North America, where over 5,000 members are organized into 55 "Convivia." It offers a compelling alternative to the fast food culture, reinforcing the belief that a slower, more thoughtful approach to food leads to a richer life.
