Pass the Polenta Teresa Lust |
Pass the Polenta is a collection of essays about the preparation of food, the gathering of the ingredients, the wonderful experience of breaking bread, and the sharing of a meal or a morsel. In the tradition of M. F. K. Fisher and Laurie Colwin, Teresa Lust writes with the exuberance of an impassioned cook and the clarity of a graceful writer.
In the first essay, "Pass the Polenta," the reader learns that polenta was the author's family food--"Mama feeds it to her baby when his teeth are coming in. Papa feeds it to his mama when her teeth have fallen out." In other essays the reader learns a smorgasbord of food trivia: the origin of the caesar salad, fascinating lore--"as precursors to love, truffles have enjoyed a long and noble history"--as well as useful tips for making a "perfect pie crust" and for finding a really great bottle of wine. The recipes referred to in each of the essays are included so readers of "No Ordinary Soup" can, for example, taste what the author's employer described as "Oh, magnifique!" Pass The Polenta is an exceptionally well-written book about one of mankind's favorite subjects, the nourishment of the body and soul. Anyone who loves to eat or enjoys cooking will enjoy Pass The Polenta and its exceptional recipes. |
