Reception

According to The New Yorker writer Jane Kramer, "Bee Wilson describes herself as a food writer. That's half the story". In Kramer's opinion, Wilson writes on food as it relates to history, ideas and human life.[10] In The New York Times, Dawn Drzal described Wilson as "a congenial kitchen oracle".[11]
