A literary exploration of how poetry moves from page to plate and inspires our palates along the way--a unique pairing of poems and original recipes. aaaaaFood and poetry are two of life's essential ingredients. In the same way salt seasons ingredients at each stage of a recipe, poetry seasons our lives; when celebrated together, our everyday moments and meals are richer and more meaningful.a aaaa Through twenty-seven inspiring poems--ranging from modernist poets like William Carlos Williams and Elizabeth Bishop to contemporary writers like Billy Collins and Jane Hirshfield--and through the author's own reflections, we are invited to reflect on moments and tastes in new ways. The sixty-four recipes are paired with the poems to bring the sentiments, questions, and ideas expressed through words to life in our kitchen, on our plate, and through our palate. This book opens us up to fresh ways of accessing poetry and lends new meaning to the foods we cook. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

When I first saw the synopsis on this book, I can admit I expected it to fall flat of any meager expectations, but it is divinely decadent. Each section starts with poem, and then there is a page following it discussing the meanings, emotion, imagery, and usage of some kitchen artifact from within that poetry. Then the recipes that follow it are in the perfect line for matching both of those.
I appreciated with relish and surprise, the section on tea (and I plan to try for this Earl Grey delicacies already) and the one on eating alone, and how that, too, should be relished with shameless gluttony and the same winning celebration of anything afforded a group. This books is an endless array of glittering jewels, for the mind and the palate, and I cannot recommend it enough.
To close with words from a poem in it, as well as open, "Don't wait. Bite in." (
