Amazon Customer said Read a recipe for the good life.. I have never been a member of a book club, but, after reading Well Read, Well Fed, I can see forming one as a distinct possibility, Friends, good books to read, cooking and eating are, to me, some of life's greatest pleasures. Combining them according to Ms. Brown's booklists and recipes sounds like shear heaven!. A great gift for yourself and others. I once was in a book club. Briefly. It was a dreadful experience and I vowed never to return. I bought Well Read, Well Fed in part for friends who are devoted book club members and, in part, to see what the literati might eat. Oh my goodness. This book is a sweet and lovely collection of remembrances that ground the tasty sounding recipes in summer sunsets in the Adirondacks, dreaded chickpeas become "chic" peas in Manhattan and easy to make shrimp and rice salad transport the reader to romantic Greek isles. I was delighte. I'll be gifting this book frequently to all my favorite eater/readers! Got this delightful book as a gift at a holiday party and was so engrossed in it that I missed my subway stop on the way home. I'll be gifting this book frequently to all my favorite eater/readers!
