- Library Journal Reviews : LJ Reviews 2013 December #1
Departing from the seasonal menus that characterized his previous titles, chef and New York Times columnist Tanis (A Platter of Figs and Other Recipes) presents small dishes, snacks, condiments, and drinks meant to be consumed when desire strikes. He introduces each recipe with a brief reflection, and it's his elegant prose that makes a few almost-too-simple offerings (e.g., real garlic toast, watered-down wine) sound sublime. Stunning photographs accompany full-flavored dishes such as Vietnamese vegetable baguette, save-your-life garlic soup, and ginger spice wafers. VERDICT Minimalistic recipes in nonprescriptive categories will please grazers and foodies who generally have high-quality ingredients (e.g., crusty bread, cold-pressed olive oil) on hand.
