Sprinkled throughout with marvelous anecdotes about writers and writing this is a culinary and literary delight. A cornucopia of reading pleasure and a true inspiration in the kitchen.

Here's a sampling of what to expect: Wake up to a perfect breakfast with Mrs. Dalby's Buttermilk Scones, courtesy of James Herriot's All Things Bright and Beautiful and Ichabod's Slapjacks, as featured in Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. There's homey comfort food like Connie May's Tomato Pie, created with and inspired by Connie May Fowler (Remembering Blue); Thanksgiving Spinach Casserole (Elizabeth Berg's Open House); and Amish Chicken and Dumplings (Jodi Picoult's Plain Truth).

Written by Shaunda Kennedy Wenger and Janet Kay Jensen. Paperback, 368 pages.
