Cookbooks, Non-Fiction Memoir
Consuming Passions is Michael Lee West's
delightfully quirky memoir of an adventurous life centered
around food and family—the story of how she went from
non-cook to gourmet of words and victuals by watching a
multitude of relatives squabble, prepare sumptuous repasts,
and carry on honored traditions. Laced with delicious secret
recipes passed from generation to generation, West's
irresistible chronicle recalls good times and wild
times—mothers swinging from chandeliers, elderly aunts
brewing up love potions, a South American nymphomaniac
stirring up trouble at a Louisiana barbeque joint, and the
spooky hauntings of a cabbage-eating ghost—all in the
pursuit of good dining. Thoroughly entertaining, alive with
West's distinctive humor and sharp, irrepressible insight,
here are incomparable American kitchen tales as warm and
tasty as freshly baked bread.
