More Home Cooking: A Writer Returns to the Kitchen by Laurie Colwin (English) Pa

Description: More Home Cooking by Laurie Colwin 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 Colwins 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 Colwins 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 Colwins 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).

Its a treat to read her classic cookbook-memoirs." -- Wall Street Journal "Colwins food writing is built on a commitment to good, simple food, cooked very well; what she describes in one of her novels as a sort of domestic sensuality." -- Vox"Every home cook should have Laurie Colwins Home Cooking and More Home Cooking on hand for brief moments of culinary self-doubt or personal inertia. . . . [Colwins] work embodies the home cooks generosity of spirit--making do, improvising, exhibiting grace under pressure.
