Publishers: Viking (USA)
Publication date: 1995
Edition: First
Like the best writers who have taken food as their subject, Molly O’Neill has a profound understanding of human appetite. And these smart, eloquent essays, laced with more than two hundred recipes, remind us that anticipation — whether for the morels from Michigan’s National Mushroom Festival, or for a cherry held by the stem and nibbled with a “singularly selfish satisfaction” — lends food much of its savour.
From innovative techniques such as oven-drying summer produce or using vegetables broths to lighten dressings, to homey recipes for one-pot dinners and rustic tarts, A Well-Seasoned Appetite illustrates Molly O’Neill’s conviction that “cooking should nourish life at more than the cellular level.” With humour and passion, she celebrates the fact that eating, like most intimate acts performed by human beings, has as much to do with the mind and spirit as with the body.
