Description
Stories from the Kitchen is a mouth-watering smorgasbord of stories with food in the starring role, by a rich variety of authors from Dickens, Chekhov and Saki to Isak Dinesen, Jim Crace and Amy Tan. The menu includes choice titbits from famous novels, such as the triumphant boeuf en daube served in Virginia Woolf's To the Lighthouse, and Proust's rhapsodic memories of watching the family cook prepare asparagus in Remembrance of Things Past.
