Reviews" Eat Good Food  makes a convincing case that sustainable grocery shopping is good for both customers and the community as a whole -- a concept that could work anywhere." -The Atlantic, 11/21/11 "I am of the mind that the process of learning  how to cook  should always begin with learning  how to shop ." -Chocolate & Zucchini, 10/25/11 "If it came from Bi-Rite, it was going to be good. This book captures that spirit and takes it out into the larger world and, hopefully, it will find its way into your kitchen where it will inform, encourage and inspire you to Eat Good Food." -TheKitchn.com, 10/21/11 "A yummy, practical book that invites readers to dig in." -San Jose Mercury News, 10/19/11 "What makes the book particularly valuable is its comprehensive guide to ingredients found in the aisles of Bi-Rite - and in other stores like it - that helps readers become better-informed shoppers. The approach is a natural extension of a store that has built a business, and a community, around doing the same thing." -San Francisco Chronicle, 10/16/11 "San Franciscans, with their city's well-earned reputation as a culinary paradise, have no shortage of world-class restaurants and shops. At the apex stands Bi-Rite Market. . . . The shop's owner, Sam Mogannam has put together Bi-Rite Market's Eat Good Food , an intelligent and useful guide and cookbook framed by Mogannam's accomplished approach to cooking and shopping. Filled with practical tips and tasty recipes (and crammed with color photos and a vibrant layout), the book is the embodiment of the Bi-Rite experience. Even if you live far from San Francisco, Eat Good Food will make you feel like a shop regular. And that's a very good feeling indeed." -Modern Tonic, 10/13/11 "Not only provides recipes for the kind of comfort food you'll find behind their glass case, but more importantly, the book functions as a guide to intelligent grocery shopping from the man who's spent years learning the art of buying." -7x7 San Francisco, Fall's Best Local Cookbooks, 10/6/11 "A beloved West Coast institution is celebrated between the covers of this inspiring cookbook." -Publishers Weekly, 7/11/11 "Like a trip to Bi-Rite Market, this book is super helpful, incredibly informative, fun, and full of great ways to use all the food that's in it. Spend twenty minutes shopping at Bi-Rite Market and you're pretty much guaranteed to leave with a basketful of well-made, great tasting, sustainably produced food, a lot of informative insights about what you bought, recipe ideas for how to serve it, and a big smile. With this book, you'll experience all of that-aside from the actual food-and will likely want to start putting what you've learned about smart, sustainable shopping to work right away at your local market and then later in your kitchen. If you live in the Mission, you probably already shop at Bi-Rite. If you live further afield, buy the book and visit the shop (as I do) every time you're in town." -Ari Weinzweig, co-founder of Zingerman's Community of Businesses and author of Zingerman's Guide to Good Eating   " Eat Good Food is a lot more useful than your typical coffee-table cookbook. It's a teaching tool that's sure to change the way you shop, source, and cook good food." -Charles Phan, James Beard Awardwinning chef-owner of The Slanted Door, "A beloved West Coast institution is celebrated between the covers of this inspiring cookbook." -Publishers Weekly, 7/11/11 "Like a trip to Bi-Rite Market, this book is super helpful, incredibly informative, fun, and full of great ways to use all the food that's in it.
