Tunku Varadarajan gives an eclectic list of novels that contain compelling descriptions of food.
[I've never thought of The Wind in the Willows and gotten hungry.]
Two that I'd add:
A Debt to Pleasure by John Lancaster (About a psychotic gourmet);
A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole (Ignatius's venture into hot dog vending is too good for words).
Plus "Food of Love" by Anthony Capella - Cyrano de Bergerac with truffles, game, seasoning and slow simmering.
ReplyDeleteSounds marvelous! I'll give it a try.
