Seller's Description:
Dana Catharine [illustrations] and Fred Conrad [Au. Very good in Good jacket. The format is approximately 5.875 inches by 8.5 inches. ix, [3], 201, [3] pages. Illustrations (color). Recipes. The dust jacket has minor wear and tear as well as a small tear on the back cover at the top right portion. Inscribed by the author on the title page. The inscription reads For Jill and Jim-Eat, Read, Enjoy! Susan Buckley. Susan Buckley is a New York based writer, editor, and consultant with a specialty in American history. She has written five books on American history with co-author Elspeth Leacock, including the award-winning Turning 15 on the Road to Freedom, an as-told-to story that they co-authored with Lynda Blackmon Lowery, the youngest marcher on the 1965 Selma Voting Rights March. She was the general editor of Houghton Mifflin's We the People textbook series, and was the founding editor of AppleSeeds magazine. EATING WITH PETER: A GASTRONOMIC JOURNEY is her first autobiographical book. This series of stories recounts her adventures in food—cooking it, finding it, eating it, buying it, writing about it—over 25 years of rollicking travel from the souks of Morocco to their kitchen in Manhattan. Susan has been fortunate to work with many talented illustrators including Rodica Prato, Randy Jones, P. J. Loughran, and Dana Catharine. A life-changing journey intertwining high romance, gastronomy, and an unsurpassable joie de vivre for readers of Julie and Julia and My Paris Kitchen. Susan's life would never be the same after she meets Peter Buckley. A man who was larger than life, Peter pulls Susan out of her comfort zone to taste the fine life, literally. Together they embark on a rollicking adventure through Michelin-starred restaurants in France to the souks of Morocco and the waters of the Red Sea and the Caribbean. They explore the world, and along the way discover the most desired tables (sometimes in a tent) and the best markets, moving from Peter's adventures with Hemingway to sampling delectable treasures in an Alpine meadow. When they return to New York, Susan and Peter—a writer, photographer, gourmand, as well as an inventive chef—incorporate their adventures into their daily American life. As they explore three-star restaurants, French farms, and Italian cheesemakers, the reader gets a taste of famous gastronomic dishes and their chefs, in addition to learning about mouth-watering recipes, culinary moments around the Buckley's kitchen and table with family and friends, and many of their New York food secrets. If much has been written about La Haute Cuisine in the past, nothing compares to the fresh, personal, and tantalizing tone Eating with Peter offers. All twenty-eight recipes in the book have thoroughly been tested, and should invite the reader to recreate the joys of Susan and Peter's experience. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Author Buckley takes readers on a lively culinary adventure in this loving memoir. As a child, Buckley wanted a life of glamour and international travel, and her dreams were eventually realized when she met her husband, Peter, an author, gourmand, and friend of Ernest Hemingway's, with whom she would travel the world in search of exquisite food. Fifteen years her senior, Peter swooped into her life when she was a young editor at Holt, Rinehart & Winston in 1970s New York City. Over their 25 years together, they spent much of their free time abroad in Spain, Italy, and Morocco in search of amazing meals, and France, where Peter was raised, was their second home. She shares joyful stories of their trips through the Loire Valley, sharing an open Jeep with two spaniels and a three-star Michelin chef on the way to an outdoor market; another time, Peter, as the “master planner, ” organized an Italian excursion just to get their hands on balsamic vinegar, which was virtually nonexistent in the U.S. in the late 1970s. Her tales are filled with visits with French chefs and restaurants that no longer exist, as well as international jaunts...
