From the Author:
An anthology of literary writing about food and drink
In this book I have tried to bring together the best (and most entertaining)authors who have written about food and drink in a literary way. In this volume you will find very few recipes, because this is a collection designed to appeal not just to the minority who are keen cooks, but to all of us who are interested in what we eat and drink. Oddly enough, literary writing about food and drink was more common in the USA than in Britain, and the selection reflects this, with some classic American writing that will be new even to those who are well-read in the subject. The selection is the product of thirty-odd years' reading, and I hope you get as much pleasure from browsing through it as I did making the choices.
Synopsis:
Celebrating a century of gastronomic writing, this collection shows that there is a rich tradition of literature about food and drink, and includes works such as S.J.Perelman's "Farewell, My Lovely Appetizer" and work by Elizabeth David.
