Voracious - A Hungry Reader Cooks Her Way Through Great Books

Klappentext Blogger, butcher, pastry chef, and voracious reader Cara Nicoletti explores the intersection of great books and great food. Cara Nicoletti has been an avid reader since childhood, and she is an equally enthusiastic cook and eater. Here she combines her passions in a delicious literary feast, essays on beloved books and the food scenes that give their characters texture and depth. Nicoletti also includes her own original recipes--inspired by the books--at the end of each chapter. She discovers the perfect soft-cooked egg in Jane Austen's Emma, makes Grilled Peaches with Homemade Ricotta in tribute to Joan Didion's Goodbye to All That, and even creates a recipe for Fava Bean and Chicken Liver Mousse (and a nice Chianti) after reading Thomas Harris's The Silence of the Lambs. VORACIOUS is a book-lover's delight and a foodie's feast that explores the literary and culinary roads to happiness
