The poet in the kitchen and the salad in literature: Frank Schloesser's greedy book wanders the byways of gastronomy where cooking meets letters. Essays on cooks, cookery, and the pleasures of reading about both, written for armchair epicures. Appetite as a literary pursuit, indulged at length. Graze wherever a chapter opens.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
