It looks like Amazon made two markdowns on this ebook, as it did on one that I posted yesterday. This one apparently started out being marked down to $2.99, then it was marked down to
$2.51 sometime in the day today (Saturday). Again, I wonder if it is a competitor price match; if so, it appears that Amazon is being much more aggressive about it than it used to be.

Book Description
A richly evocative memoir from the man whom the New York Times dubbed the “dean of American cookery,” recalling the flavors of his past
In this delightful culinary journey, James Beard takes us back to the earliest days of his childhood when he started developing his precocious palate and lifelong “taste memories”—the ability to savor and remember the tastes and sensations of food. His enthusiasm for flavors, no matter how bold, would define Beard for the rest of his life.
From devouring a raw onion as an infant to scouring the globe in search of local flavors as an adult, Delights and Prejudices is full of witty and illuminating stories that open a door into the world of one of America’s first and perhaps greatest epicures.
Packed with more than one hundred fifty recipes, including corn chili soufflé, fried oysters, and peach preserves, this very personal account of his life is as close to an autobiography as Beard ever penned. For those who love to cook or simply love to eat, there remains no better teacher than James Beard.
