A Lifetime of Memories with Recipes by Maya Angelou
ISBN 1-4000-6289-6
Angelou has feasted at both ends of the food spectrum and everywhere in between. Her appreciation of good food has given her stamina and has enriched the texture of her days. In this memoir of significant meals, the poet recalls her grandmother’s ironic discovery that rich folks relished wilted lettuce while she was investing in ice to keep her greens crisp. In another recollection, Angelou recalls her brother Bailey’s advice on how to stretch a pork chop or two into enough different meals to please even her ravenous young son. As Angelou’s renown swells, so does her purse, and before long she’s sitting down to tables where nothing is impossible. Humble beef stew becomes beef Wellington and lemon meringue pie elegant eclairs. But Angelou’s savoring of well-made food is a single continuum. Her recipes for favorite dishes derive from traditions as diverse as the origins of menudo, minestrone, spoon bread, tomato souffle, and hog head cheese. Angelou’s fans curious about their hero’s appetites will find tasty satisfaction here. Mark Knoblauch
