This week’s questions were inspired by Caroline. She can’t read The Joy Luck Club without thinking of potstickers and wontons… And no, we’re not talking about cookbooks here. Please leave those out of this discussion.
- Do you enjoy books that have cooking or eating scenes in them?
Doesn’t everyone? There are some books that make certain dishes or beverages sound so good, I get cravings. Yummmmm. - Have you made or eaten anything that was inspired by a recipe or scene in a non-cooking book?
Absolutely. All sorts of things, too. A pot of coffee. A specific kind of cake. If the author makes it sound good enough, I want to eat it, too.

Tannenbaum.
House Calls



Hear, hear! Como Agua Para Chocolate makes me hungry, every time. And so does the movie Tortilla Soup…
I feel that way about Angela’s Ashes and cabbage, especially with lots of butter.
