ALEXANDER, STEPHANIE Stephanie's Feasts and Stories
Sydney, Allen & Unwin. 1988, First Edition. Hard Cover, 4to. Publishers original blue boards with white lettering to spine. Dustwrapper: unclipped, now protected in Brodart. Dark blue endpapers, previous owners inscription to front endpaper. 305pp. including index, profusely illustrated with colour photographs and b/w line drawings throughout text. Pages clean and bright in firm binding. This is a book about sharing pleasure. It's about how the experience of eating is a way of looking at the world, and how a heightened appreciation of the colours, textures and smells of food as well as its crispness, crunch and crackle adds to the enjoyment of each bite. This book draws on a very broad palate, from settings in countries as varied as France, Italy, England, Greece, Indonesia, Hon Kong and Australia. It celebrates eating and food, how people live, what makes their life exciting, and how food is linked to events of significance. It demonstrates the author's interest in both understanding traditional ethnic boundaries and in absorbing culinary details of various cultures into what is her own very personal style. Very Good/Very Good.
