Diana Secker Tesdell

A mouth-watering smorgasbord of stories with food in the starring role, by a rich variety of authors from Dickens, Chekhov and Saki to Isak Dinesen. The menu includes choice titbits from many famous novels such as Virginia Woolf's 'To the Lighthouse' (9496), and Proust's rhapsodic memories of watching the family cook prepare asparagus in 'Remembrance of Things Past' (2942).
