Book excerpt: “Every once in awhile a writer of particular skills takes a fresh, seemingly improbable idea and turns out a book of pure delight.” That’s how David McCullough described Mark Kurlansky’s Cod: A Biography of the Fish That Changed the World, a work that revealed how a meal can be as important as it is edible. Salt: A World History, its successor, did the same for a seasoning, and confirmed Kurlansky as one of our most erudite and entertaining food authors. Now, the winner of the James Beard Award for Excellence in Food Writing shares a varied selection of “choice cuts” by others, as he leads us on a mouthwatering culinary tour around the world and through history and culture from the fifth century B.C. to the present day. Choice Cuts features more than two hundred pieces, from Cato to Cab Calloway. Here are essays by Plato on the art of cooking . . . Pablo Neruda on french fries . . . Alice B. Toklas on killing a carp . . . M. F. K. Fisher on the virility of Turkish desserts . . . Alexandre Dumas on coffee . . . W. H. Auden on Icelandic food . . .

Download or read book Choice Cuts of Lamb written by Cate Garrison and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2008-09-30 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHOICE CUTS OF LAMB is an anthology of essays on every subject under the sun, from mothers to fathers, from god to Santa Claus, from life in the city to life in the suburbs, or the country, from traveling far-and-wide, to staying at home. It contains two fascinating interviews, one with Brian Basset, creator of the widely syndicated cartoon strip, Adam@Home, and another with the late lamented, much mourned French Mime, Marcel Marceau. Among the many illustrations (mostly old family photographs) is a caricature of author Cate Garrison when she was theater critic for Willamette Week, an alternative newspaper from Portland, Oregon, sketched by that astonishing artist Bill Papas, whose untimely death by drowning, a decade or so ago, left us reeling. All but one of these pieces were first published in the monthly publication, Black Lamb, "a magazine for readers."
