Fantastic exploration submitted by cherylo on August 2, 2014, 12:00pm For those who despair of ever having the time to savor the Great Novels, worry no longer! This volume offers a tasting menu of selections to tantalize while enlightening the would-be connoisseur on the properties of both haute cuisine and literature. I most enjoyed the directions in Chaucerian verse on how to caramelize onions and description of the virtues of tarragon in the style of Jane Austen.
