Description:

Women's relationship to food is passionate and obsessive, embracing and comforting, complex and frustrating. This savory sampling of stories–by some of the best writers in and out of the food and travel fields–journeys to the heart of this age-old relationship, taking the reader from the familiar kitchens of contemporary America to the far reaches of the globe.

In France, an overly enthusiastic waitress serves M.F.K. Fisher the lunch of a lifetime to sustain her on a walk to Avalon. In Tunisia, Ruth Reichl dines at the home of a local, where the meal is eaten with one's hands and a dash of sensuality. And, in Fiji, where the women are big and beautiful and walk like royalty, Laurie Gough encounters food as a grand and constant celebration.
