The Best American Food Writing 2021 by Gabrielle Hamilton, Silvia Killingsworth

3.0

I enjoyed this volume. 3.5 stars, rounded down to 3. The mix of articles was good, from a wide range of publications and authors. Given that the 2021 volume features the best writing from 2020, I am glad that the volume covered the start of the Covid-19 pandemic, but did not dwell on it in every article. As with any collection like this, I liked some articles (much) more than others. While there were many good pieces in this edition, I think my favorites were "Good Bread" by Bill Buford and by "Get Fat Don't Die" by Jonathan Kauffman, which is about the AIDS epidemic and wasting syndrome.
