Well read, well fed cover

Well read, well fed

by Marcia F. Brown

"Well Read, Well Fed supports the notion that while almost all book groups start out as serious literary endeavors, they inevitably become monthly gatherings that are as much about sharing food, wine, and catching up, as the books that are read. It's a go-to kitchen staple for book group hosts, and a helpful source of lists from classics to cutting-edge contemporaries for book groups to explore. The book includes a year of themed lists, short essays on books, reading, and food, plus tested recipes for healthy and simple main dishes and light accompaniments to be served year-round. All are selected for ease of preparation and make-ahead flexibility for the host."--Page [4] cover.
