Chatting Books Online Day 177. Today's recommended book is Voracious: A Hungry Reader Cooks Her Way Through Great Books by Cara Nicoletti So it is both a cookbook and a sort of blog about her favorite books. In much the same way that I sometimes tell you about how I came across a book or why I feel it is worthy of a recommendation, or who first introduced me to that book the author here does the same thing, starting each section with a anecdote, a memory , or a thought on a book and then why the recipe she has chosen reflects that book, followed by the recipe. For instance in the To Kill a Mockingbird section she tells us a story of how she and her friends used to sit across the street from the only abandoned house in their neighborhood watching through binoculars to see if they could spot the ghost said to haunt it and when she would get her her father would always say" So Scout, did you see Boo Radley today"? and she had no idea at the time what he was talking about She then goes on to give the recipe for Biscuits with Molasses Butter. Naturally in the Silence of the Lambs section she gives a recipe for a delicious Crostini with Fava Bean and Chicken Liver Mousses (perhaps you can serve them with a nice Chianti) .
Combining two of my favorite - stories about books and cooking this book is today's recommendation. It is available in hardcover , 283 pages , and sells for $28 a copy.
