FEATURED REVIEW

"With great humor, a love of detail and the kind of curiosity that opens one roomful of questions after another, Brantley's The Perfect Fruit leads us through the history of plums, the San Joaquin Valley, fruit breeding and the deep connections between food and love."

—Susan Salter Reynolds, LA Times

The Perfect Fruit Reviewed At The Kitchn

DateTuesday, August 4, 2009 at 03:58PM

Faith Durand has written a thoughtful and generous review of the book at Apartment Therapy's The Kitchn.

Competition, marketing, good old-fashioned American farming, and the reasons why Americans will buy $1.69/pound Red Delicious apples over $.79/pound juicy plums — these all are wrapped up in the reason why I found this the most interesting book I've read in a long time. I mean, I get a lot of books to review, but I don't usually stay up late to read them!

Read the whole review at The Kitchn.
