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

Product Description

In the last, triumphant months of World War II, young Americans won their nation’s greatest victory-or victories. For the war they won was a world war, a conflict fought on two very different fronts in two very different ways. In Europe, the battle-tested troops who had landed in Normandy on D-Day fought their way onto Adolf Hitlers doorstep, then crossed the Rhine and brought down the Nazis -thousand-year Reich.+ Meanwhile, across the Pacific, sailors, Marines and airmen teamed up to invade a series of crucial islands Tarawa, Iwo Jima, Okinawa-rolling back a tough Japanese enemy and paving the way for the surprising end of the war with the dropping of an atom bomb on Hiroshima.Every step of every day, these members of -The Greatest Generation+ were shadowed by reporters and photographers from two great American magazines, Time and Life. Now, the editors of Time have returned to these archives to compile a memorable, visually stunning portrait of those stirring times, America’s Greatest Generation and Their World War II Triumph.
