In The Perfect Fruit, Chip Brantley goes in search of what it takes to trick nature into producing gustatory greatnessand to bring it to a market near you. From there, it stretches both back and forward: back through a long line of visionaries, fruit smugglers, and mad geniuses, many of whom have been driven to dazzling extremes in the pursuit of exotic flavors; and forward through the ranks of farmers, scientists, and salesmen who make it their life's work to coax deliciousness out of stubborn and unpredictable plants. The creation story of the "perfect fruit," delving into the world of the demanding farmersBrantley delves into the complicated, sometimes cut-throat world of the San Joaquin Valley's family fruit growers and marketers, squeezed by rising costs and ever more powerful and demanding retailers, always angling for the Summer Passionate consumer segment of lifestyle epicureans. All rights reserved. . From Publishers Weekly After a conversion experience at the Los Angeles farmers' market where he first tasted the sweet, succulent plum-apricot hybrid known as a pluot, freelance food writer Brantley embarked on this tasty exploration of the stone-fruit industry.
