Even the cookbook itself, which is weighty and dense, feels like a novel or memoir (in our copy, many of the pages are so tightly packed, they had already loosened from the spine). And you really could settle into a lounge chair and read the recipe headers and essays front to back: The "Nibbles" chapter to start, then "Meat Without Feet" (and "Birds" and "Cow" and "A Little Lamb" and "Fine Swine"), and of course, "The Not-So-Nasty Bits."
