books as food: Anticipation, 'culinary biography' edition

'How pleasant it is to spend an evening in this way! I declare that after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of any thing than of a book! — When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library.' No one made any reply. She then yawned again, threw aside her book, and cast her eyes round the room in quest of some amusement. — from Pride and Prejudice, by Jane Austen (1775-1817)

Anticipation, 'culinary biography' edition

{July}

I'm so excited about this one. I greatly enjoyed reading and listening to her short biography of Julia Child, two of the six remarkable women are Eleanor Roosevelt and Barbara Pym, and ... 'culinary biography.' Oh, yes please.

Vintage Reading said...: What an interesting idea for a book. I wonder why they chose those particular writers?; April 22, 2017 at 8:36 PM
Audrey said...: Hmmm...there's a lot of food in Barbara Pym's novels, and apparently ER was well known for serving terrible food ... but that's just a guess. I'm looking forward to finding out.

Something from the Oven and Perfection Salad have been on my reading list forevwe...time for me to read them, too!; April 23, 2017 at 12:47 PM
