About this book
The food writer's award–winning second collection of Gourmet magazine columns, featuring recipes, advice & personal anecdotes from the kitchen and beyond.
Lucky readers in the 1970s and '80s discovered Laurie Colwin's urbane, witty fiction in The New Yorker, as well as her warm, engaging food writing in Gourmet magazine columns.
More Home Cooking, the second collection of these columns, is an expression of Colwin's lifelong passion for cuisine and offers a delightful mix of recipes, advice, and personal anecdotes from the kitchen and beyond. She muses over the many charms and challenges of cooking at home in timeless essays including "Desserts That Quiver," "Real Food for Tots," and "Catering on One Dollar a Head."
As informative as it is entertaining, and filled with Colwin's trademark down-to-earth charm and wit, More Home Cooking is a rare treat for anyone who spends time in the kitchen and feels "like having a great conversation with someone that you love" (Samantha Bee).
