Food Snob n: reference term for the sort of food obsessive for whom the actual joy of eating and cooking is but a side dish to the accumulation of arcane knowledge about these subjects From the author of The United States of Arugula--and coauthor of The Film Snob’s Dictionary and The Rock Snob’s Dictionary--a delectable compendium of food facts, terminology, and famous names that gives ordinary folk the wherewithal to take down the Food Snobs--or join their zealous ranks. Open a menu and there they are, those confusing references to “grass-fed” beef, “farmstead” blue cheese, and “dry-farmed” fruits. It doesn’t help that your dinner companions have moved on to such heady topics as the future of the organic movement, or the seminal culinary contributions of Elizabeth Drew and Fernand Point. David Kamp, who demystified the worlds of rock and film for grateful readers, explains it all and more, in The Food Snobs Dictionary. Both entertaining and authentically informative, The Food Snob’ s Dictionary travels through the alphabet explaining the buzz-terms that fuel the food-obsessed, from “Affinage” to “Zest,” with stops along the way for “Cardoons,” “Fennel Pollen,” and “Sous-Vide,” all served up with a huge and welcome dollop of wit.

"I eat when I'm stressed out." "I'm addicted to junk food." "I'm always on a diet." Sound familiar? In Get a Real Food Life, high-energy food coach Janine Whiteson teaches you the skills you need to regain control over your relationship with food. When you create a Real Food Life, you're able to enjoy all of the food you eat, secure in the knowledge that it's nourishing you-- mind, body, and soul. Your new Real Food Life is all about eating when you're hungry, choosing foods that make you feel great, and strategically eliminating those that drag you down. Janine believes that rather than helping you gain control, restrictive diets and trendy eating plans actually do the opposite-- decrease control and increase obsession. As she guides you through the sometimes treacherous minefield of junk food and emotional eating, she'll show you a life where you're not obsessed by "forbidden" foods. Drawing on years of client experience and dozens of recipes, checklists, quizzes, and tips, Janine guides you through her trademark 8-week plan, peppered with fun activities, like the Kitchen Makeover and the Get Real Check-In. She helps you "diagnose" your current diet, eating patterns, and food choices. Using that information, Janine then helps you replace self-defeating eating habits with energy-enhancing, delicious food choices. She even includes specially designed strategies for managing family eating dynamics, holiday cocktail parties, stressful times at work, and more. Along the way, Janine shares an intimate look into the personal lives of 11 of her clients. Read their stories, torn from the pages of their personal diaries, and then follow their progress as Janine tells how she helped them overcome challenges to achieve their Real Food Lives. One thing Janine won't talk about is a "perfect" food life. Instead, she talks about what's "real"-- real choices, real food, real solutions, when you get a Real Food Life, you are in charge.
