Reviews
Just about everyone recognizes Clarissa Dickson Wright as half of television's Two Fat Ladies. Wright's gusto and zest for life and good food and drink shines through Food, an anthology of food writing. Although few recipes grace these pages, the brief excerpts from a wide range of authors celebrate passion for well-prepared food and lusty living. Under the heading "Queer" appears a delightful rendition of ways to make hedgehog and squirrel palatable. Brilliant photos and bright reproductions of wartime posters make the book a graphic-design treasure. Wright's beloved television persona will increase demand for this book. Mark Knoblauch
