Publishers Text
New in paperback! Pennell began her career as a food writer, she confesses, in spite of the fact that I couldn't boil and egg and my only qualifications were a healthy appetite and an honest love of good dinner usually considered unbecoming to the sex. Her aim was to show that a woman could practice cooking as an art, preparing a complete aesthetic experience that combined exquisite flavors with a beautiful table, a soothing room and lively conversation.
This book elevates our daily bread to a feast for the senses. Pennell leads the reader through the culinary delights of the day, from the fresh rolls of a solitary petit dejeuner through elaborate dinners complete with spotless linen, flawless silver and cut flowers in vases of Venetian glass.
Pennell sets good eating as the basis for good living, a healthy imagination, a happy marriage, stimulating conversation and satisfying social intercourse. For all who would embrace such benefits, this book offers a lovely diversion.
