Description: From the
PEN/Faulkner Award–winning author James Salter and his wife, Kay—amateur chefs
and terrific hosts—here is a charming, beautifully illustrated food lover’s
companion that, with an entry for each day of the year, takes us from a Twelfth
Night cake in January to a champagne dinner on New Year’s Eve. Life Is Meals is
rich with culinary wisdom, history, recipes, literary pleasures, and the
authors’ own stories of their triumphs—and catastrophes—in the kitchen.
For instance:
The menu on the
Titanic on the fatal night
Reflections on
dining from Queen Victoria, JFK, Winnie the Pooh, Garrison Keillor, and many
others
The
seductiveness of a velvety Brie or the perfect martini
How to decide
whom to invite to a dinner party—and whom not to
John Irving’s
family recipe for meatballs; Balzac’s love of coffee
The greatest
dinner ever given at the White House
Where in Paris
Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter had French onion soup at 4:00 a.m.
