The Poet's Cookbook is an anthology of prose and poetry by twenty-one accomplished authors focusing primarily on their experiences, memories, and stories held within a traditional cookbook. Described as “the secret stories behind everyday meals,” The Poet's Cookbook provides an intimate look into the gastronomic lives of authors who otherwise would never journey into the world of culinary arts. This collection is a unique look into a world often taken for granted, a sensory examination of the complex beauty and tragedy that lies beneath the simple nostalgia of a good, home- cooked meal.
