Publishers Text

Among the 200 writers represented in this illustrated anthology of culinary literature (which covers everything from Apples to Zucchini) are many readers will expect to find: Julia Child, Elizabeth David, James Beard, Escoffier. But there are lots of surprises - writers like John Steinbeck, Evelyn Waugh, Virginia Woolf, Bruce Chatwin and Len Deighton. Humor is richly represented (including Monty Python's immortal Spam). There are songs and poems by Cole Porter and Hilaire Belloc; and fascinating finds, such as accounts of King Edward VII's coronation banquet. All these are placed in delightful context with Clarissa Dickson Wright's informed and witty introduction. A must for food lovers.
