Ian Makay’s Food for Thought

IAN MAKAY'S FOOD FOR THOUGHT THE PLEASURES OF THE TABLE: PRIMI PIATTIThis long-awaited follow-up to the 1995 original, The Pleasures of the Table: Primi Piatti is an updated collection of quotes, anecdotes, food facts, "unusual" recipes, and advice (often questionable) of one kind or another culled from the cookbooks of history and their more contemporary counterparts, along with literature, film, periodicals, television, music, and random musings from social media and elsewhere.

A portable compendium of culinary wit, this is the perfect book for every gourmet and epicure; every dieter and fitness fanatic; every traveler and restaurateur; and for everyone who eats or cooks-whether devotees of grandmother's kitchen of graduates of the Culinary Institute of America.
