Overview

"With a new foreword by Deb Perelman of Smitten Kitchen, the triumphant sequel to Home Cooking by ""a home cook, like you and me, whose charm and lack of pretension make her wonderfully human and a welcome companion as she chatters on about the small culinary accomplishments and discoveries that occur in her kitchen"" (Chicago Tribune). Lucky readers in the 1970s and '80s discovered Laurie Colwin's urbane, witty fiction in The New Yorker, as well as her warm, engaging food writing in Gourmet magazine columns. More Home Cooking, the second collection of these columns, is an expression of Colwin's lifelong passion for cuisine and offers a delightful mix of recipes, advice, and personal anecdotes from the kitchen and beyond. She muses over the many charms and challenges of cooking at home in timeless essays including ""Desserts That Quiver,"" ""Real Food for Tots,"" and ""Catering on One Dollar a Head."" As informative as it is entertaining, and filled with Colwin's trademark down-to-earth charm and wit, More Home Cooking is a rare treat for anyone who spends time in the kitchen and feels ""like having a great conversation with someone that you love"" (Samantha Bee). Supplemental enhancement PDF accompanies the audiobook."
