Fortnum & Mason Food Book of the Year 2016
Mögen Sie Rosenkohl? Lieben Sie Brokkoli? Oder ist Fleisch Ihr Gemüse? Dass die Geschmäcker verschieden sind, ist eine Binsenweisheit. Aber nirgendwo sind die Vorlieben und Abneigungen so ausgeprägt wie beim Essen und so immun gegen gute Argumente. Nicht nur Eltern wissen davon ein Lied zu singen. Warum ist das so? Und was können wir tun, um anders, besser, zu essen?
Bee Wilson hat sich auf eine spannende Reise zu den Ursprüngen unserer Ernährungsgewohnheiten begeben, mit der neuesten Forschungsliteratur sowie ihren eigenen Erfahrungen als Mutter von drei Kindern im Gepäck. Sie hat mit Psychologen und Ernährungsexperten gesprochen, Schulkantinen besucht und zahlreiche "Essbiographien" zusammengetragen. Das Ergebnis ist so lehrreich wie ermutigend: Geschmack ist kein Schicksal.
Welche Speisen wir mögen, ob wir essen wie ein Spatz oder wie ein Scheunendrescher, ist uns nicht in die Wiege gelegt. Wir lernen es, und zwar in der Kindheit, am Esstisch der Familie, unter Einfluss zahlreicher Faktoren. Und wir können umlernen. Bee Wilson zeigt uns in ihrem neuen Buch, wie das geht, ohne dabei aus den Augen zu verlieren, was vielleicht das Wichtigste ist: die Freude am Essen.
'When you open FIRST BITE and see Science, don't panic. It is a weirdly addictive, intelligent and enjoyable explanation of why we eat as we do: more unputdownable than any non fiction has a right to be. Everyone should read it. And it might change your life. ' Charlotte Mendelson
'Bee Wilson is the ultimate food scholar. First Bite is a brilliant study of how we form our food preferences and how we may be able to change them. Her narrative kept me hungry for more until the very end.' Yotam Ottolenghi
'This is a fascinating, at times provocative, investigation into how and why we eat what we do, how food can be both medicine and poison, and a call-to-arms manifesto to make eating guiltlessly pleasurable for all.' Nigella Lawson
'If there were any justice in the world, this book should be at the top of this month's diet-book bestsellers ... I agree with every word she writes' Daisy Goodwin, Sunday Times
'If any book can effect long-term weight loss, it should be this one, because it feeds the mind rather than denying the body' The Times
'First Bite is a feast of a book ... Wilson's focus on how we learn to eat rather than on what we eat is a refreshing new template for improving our relationship with food.' Financial Times
'First Bite is a brilliant read; a month after finishing it, I still think of it every time I set the table.' Observer Food Monthly
