Stories
and
recipes
inspired
by
the
world's
great
books
As
a
young
bookworm
reading
in
her
grandfather's
butcher
shop,
Cara
Nicoletti
saw
how
books
and
food
bring
people
to
life.
Now
a
butcher,
cook,
and
talented
writer,
she
serves
up
stories
and
recipes
inspired
by
beloved
books
and
the
food
that
gives
their
characters
depth
and
personality.
From
the
breakfast
sausage
in
Laura
Ingalls
Wilder's
Little
House
in
the
Big
Woods
to
chocolate
cupcakes
with
peppermint
buttercream
from
Jonathan
Franzen's
The
Corrections,
these
books
and
the
tasty
treats
in
them
put
her
on
the
road
to
happiness.
Cooking
through
the
books
that
changed
her
life,
Nicoletti
shares
fifty
recipes,
including:
- The perfect soft-boiled egg in Jane Austen'sEmma
- Grilled peaches with homemade ricotta in tribute to Joan Didion's "Goodbye to All That"
- New England clam chowder inspired by Herman Melville'sMoby-Dick
- Fava bean and chicken liver mousse crostini (with a nice Chianti) after Thomas Harris'sThe Silence of the Lambs
- Brown butter crêpes from Gillian Flynn'sGone Girl
Beautifully
illustrated,
clever,
and
full
of
heart,
Voracious
will
satisfy
anyone
who
loves
a
fantastic
meal
with
family
and
friends-or
curling
up
with
a
great
novel
for
dessert.
