The Pleasures of Slow Food -- Originally published in 2002, this was one of the first books on the Slow Food movement. We are offering this wonderful volume in paperback for home cooks who strive to preserve the traditions of growing, cooking, and eating good food. With 15 profiles of artisans plus 45 time-tested recipes by chefs and cooks (Alice Waters, Rick Bayless, and more), this cookbook promotes regional heirloom foods that feature local ingredients and/or have been prepared the same way for generations.

Corby Kummer writes for the Atlantic Monthly, Gourmet, and other publications. He lives in Boston.

Eric Schlosser is the author of the best-selling Fast Food Nation.

Carlo Petrini is the founder and president of Slow Food.
