    Laurie Colwin, Home Cooking (Knopf, 1988; Harperperennial 2000)
    As much memoir as cookbook and as much about eating as cooking, says The New York Times Book Review. Turning her good-humored writing style onto her love of simple food, Colwin combines essays such as "Alone in the Kitchen with an Eggplant," "Repulsive Dinners: A Memoir," and "Stuffed Breast of Veal: A Bad Idea" with recipes for Old-Fashioned Steamed Chocolate Pudding, for example.
