The Solace of Food: A Life of James Beard OverviewsIN THE BEGINNING there was Beard," said Julia Child, and perhaps no other individual played such a central role in America’s postwar fascination with food and cooking. James Beard took American food seriously at a time when French cuisine was revered above all others, and his ebullient personality, genuine culinary talents, and assiduous self-promotion (he once called himself "the world’s greatest gastronomic whore") transformed the struggling actor from Oregon into a world-renowned authority on cooking and eating. First published as James Beard, a Biography (HarperCollins, 1993), this award-winning book was chosen as a "Notable Book of the Year" by the New York Times Book Review and called one of the best food books of the year by Julia Child on "Good Morning America." The Solace of Food is both the definitive biography of Beard and a fascinating history of food. Clark writes candidly about the "feuds and bitchery, betrayal and revenge" inside the food world and about Beard’s homosexuality in a closeted period. "Clark has given us a vivid portrait of a sometimes bizarre but ultimately fascinating man of our times," said the Times, "but his real achievement is having produced a valuable and thoroughly engrossing work of contemporary cultural history.".../ The Solace of Food: A Life of James Beard / caviar set

Revealing Look at the Life of the American Culinary Icon : The Solace of Food: A Life of James Beard
This book is a missed occasion to of course construe and show why James Beard was such an influential figure. The writing is tiresome, both oddly distant and overly cozy (for instance, calling the branch "James" instead of the usual journalistic "Beard"). It's a laborious conference of facts rather than a compelling biography. You can tell there's good material here, but it never fully comes to life.
