Description: This book is the
story of my life as it relates to the subject of food. It is my autobiography
in food and meals and restaurants and countries far and near. Let me take you
to a restaurant on the Left Bank of Paris that I found when writing The Lords
of Discipline. There are meals I ate in Rome while writing The Prince of Tides
that ache in my memory when I resurrect them. There is a shrimp dish I ate in
an elegant English restaurant, where Cuban cigars were passed out to all the
gentlemen in the room after dinner, that I can taste on my palate as I write
this.
There is
barbecue and its variations in the South, and the subject is a holy one to me.
I write of truffles in the Dordogne Valley in France, cilantro in Bangkok,
catfish in Alabama, scuppernong in South Carolina, Chinese food from my years
in San Francisco, and white asparagus from the first meal my agent took me to
in New York City. Let me tell you about the fabulous things I have eaten in my
life, the story of the food I have encountered along the way.
