Culinary creator, writer and community advocate, Sohla El-Waylly selects the best twenty articles published in 2021 that celebrate the many innovative, comforting, mouthwatering, and culturally rich culinary offerings of our country""Good food writing," writes guest editor Sohla El-Waylly, "is often a Trojan horse that looks like an easy-to-swallow treat but is actually filled with tales about culture, history, and even scandal." 'The Best American Food Writing 2022' is a poignant reflection of our current moment, offering not only rich, mouthwatering stories but also powerful insights into politics, accessibility, and equity. From a group of delivery workers sleuthing their way to retrieving their stolen bikes, to a retelling of the origins of hot chicken as revenge on an adulterous partner, to a surprising recipe involving rodent-repelling tape, these pieces nourish, invigorate, and most importantly, challenge us to think critically about how food comes to our plates. As El-Waylly writes in her introduction, "Food offers a clear path to connecting with anyone." This collection offers a beautiful view of that path."--taken from back cover
