| Publisher Description: A collection of stories with recipes to read and make in troubled times--comfort food in the truest sense of the word--this book is unlike any other food memoir. This is a story book with food in it. Organized chronologically from childhood to adulthood, Valentine Warner presents a collection of personal stories about life and death, catering disasters, TV shenanigans and travel adventures. This is a cookbook for the modern world that recognizes the affirmative powers of cooking; to hearten us in times of need, and to cheer us in days of uncertainty or sadness, to soothe the soul, to lift our spirits, and to celebrate the pure life-changing, and life-affirming joy of good food. Featuring 75 recipes, including illustrations and photography alongside personal stories, this is an incredibly insightful book, wonderfully idiosyncratic, and beautifully written. It is a uniquely modern classic. A book to dip in and out of, or to enjoy in a single sitting, The Consolation of Food is an affirmation of the joy and pleasure that the presence of food has played throughout Valentine's life; comfort food in the truest sense of the word. |
