A Thousand Feasts

Ginger says: Book Club members may remember I chose this as my best book of the year in December, but then a couple (hi, Jill and Lindsay!) shared their practice of rereading their favorite book each year from the previous year. Say less. I downloaded the audio version this time and listened as Nigel Slater himself narrated his memoir in my earbuds. I savored each short essay (some very short: just a single, perfect sentence). Think the gentility of Martha Stewart wrapped up with the roaming stylings of Anthony Bourdain. Each essay was like a Dutch still life painting that came to life.
