Voracious: A Hungry Reader Cooks Her Way through Great Books

Autor Cara Nicoletti Ilustrat de Marion Bolognese
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 22 aug 2016
AN IRRESISTIBLE LITERARY FEAST
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.

"Voraciousis charming, poignant, and mouthwatering-a book for anyone who has craved a meal in a novel. Cara Nicoletti's writing captures the nourishment of literature and all the magical and tempting ways food and books enrich our lives."—Kate Christensen, author ofBlue Plate SpecialandThe Great Man
"Nothing is more comforting than getting to know a new friend through their stories and their food. With Cara Nicoletti's book, I'm certain I have a new friend in her."—Joy Wilson, author ofJoy the Baker: Homemade Decadence
"Voracioussatisfies two powerful appetites: for great food and for great books. We come to know Cara and her family as she digs into the lives of beloved authors-Homer, Melville, Woolf, Tartt-and discovers the best techniques for making donuts and braising lamb in wine. Her debut is a feast: warm, big-hearted, and inviting."—Nina MacLaughlin, author ofHammer Head
"As inviting as a bowl of homemade chocolate pudding. . . . Nicoletti turns both reading and cooking into eagerly anticipated visceral experiences."—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A pleasure for hungry readers."—Kirkus Reviews
"It's not the type of book you'll ever want to put down.... But more than this,Voraciousfunctions as a remarkably fresh take on coming-of-age."—National Post
