Synopsis

In "Scrambled Eggs," Lawton Mackall presents a delightful exploration of childhood through a rich tapestry of vivid imagery and playful language. Seamlessly blending elements of humor and nostalgia, Mackall captures the innocence and whimsy of youth while simultaneously reflecting on the complexities of growing up. The narrative is imbued with a gentle irony that challenges the reader to reconsider the seemingly mundane experiences of life, making the prose both engaging and thought-provoking. The book's distinct voice positions it within the realm of mid-20th century American literature, drawing comparisons to works by contemporaries such as J.D. Salinger and E.B. White, who similarly interrogate the transition from childhood to adulthood. Lawton Mackall, an accomplished author and journalist, was greatly influenced by his own experiences of childhood adventures and familial bonds. His insights are informed by the cultural landscape of post-war America, where the ideals of family and community were interwoven with a burgeoning sense of individuality. This backdrop helped to shape Mackall's poignant reflections on the joys and dilemmas of growing up, evident in his richly layered characters and settings. Highly recommend "Scrambled Eggs" to readers of all ages looking for a heartwarming yet discerning examination of childhood. With its engaging narrative and insightful observations, the book resonates with anyone who cherishes the fleeting moments of youth, making it a unique addition to the canon of American literature.

Will This Make You Happy -...

Tanya Bush

For fans of Nora Ephron and Nigel Slater, this hybrid memoir and cookbook brings together over fifty inventive baking recipes with a lyrical coming-of-age story about desire and dessert. Perfect for home cooks, lovers of literature, and anyone who finds comfort in the kitchen.Tanya Bush is adrift in the uncertainty of her early twenties—unemployed, uninspired, and stuck in a long-term relationship that's lost its spark. One day, just to do something, she decides to bake a cake. It's gooey in the center, woefully underbaked, an absolute disaster—but it also reminds her of the pleasures of baking: sugar crystals under her fingernails, flour in her hair, and the hard-earned satisfaction of following the steps of a recipe to the end.Over the course of a year, Tanya embarks on a journey that carries her from her tiny apartment to the sunlit kitchens of an Italian agriturismo to the basement of a bustling Brooklyn bakery, where she rediscovers her appetite for pleasure, indulgence, and meaningful work.A culinary memoir and love story, interwoven with over fifty innovative and approachable baking recipes, Will This Make You Happy is for listeners and bakers looking for something messier, more experimental, and honest than the typical aspirational cookbook.

A Thousand Feasts

Nigel Slater

THE INSTANT #1 SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER
From award-winning writer Nigel Slater, comes a new and exquisitely written collection of notes, memoir, stories and small moments of joy.
'Nigel Slater’s prose is the rarest delicacy of all: exquisite yet effortless, filled with heart, tenderness, yearning and humour' ELIZABETH DAY
For years, Nigel Slater has kept notebooks of curiosities and wonderings, penned while at his kitchen table, soaked in a fisherman’s hut in Reykjavik, sitting calmly in a moss garden in Japan or sheltering from a blizzard in a Vienna Konditorei.
These are the small moments, events and happenings that gave pleasure before they disappeared. Miso soup for breakfast, packing a suitcase for a trip and watching a butterfly settle on a carpet, hiding in plain sight. He gives short stories of feasts such as a mango eaten in monsoon rain or a dish of restorative macaroni cheese and homes in on the scent of freshly picked sweet peas and the sound of water breathing at night in Japan.
This funny and sharply observed collection of the good bits of life, often things that pass many of us by, is utter joy from beginning to end.
‘I loved this. It is a secular book of hours – thoughts and pleasures beautifully cadenced and generously placed’ Edmund de Waal
‘Nigel Slater has a magical capacity to find beauty in the smallest moments. A nourishing, sustaining book’ Olivia Laing
‘His evocative, uplifting observations are a balm for life: a prose-poem for eaters and a spiritual companion for thoughtful cooks. A true and enduring joy’ Nigella Lawson
‘You can’t always feel buoyant and grateful but noticing – and getting pleasure from – the seemingly insignificant is a good way to live. As he says, feel the “small moments of joy”’ Diana Henry
Nigel Slater, a top author and best-seller, continues to captivate with his culinary narratives and non-fiction essays. His travelogues, filled with the scent of freshly picked sweet peas and the sound of water breathing at night in Japan, are a testament to his ability to find beauty in the smallest moments.
For fans of Samin Nosrat (The Best American Food Writing 2019), Peter Ames Carlin (Tonight in Jungleland), Wendy Macnaughton (Lost Cat), Rick Stein (Under a Mackerel Sky), and Alice Waters (Always Home).
