Publisher's Synopsis

Twenty-two acclaimed writers celebrate the art of eating

Wendell Berry  Colette  William Corbett  Michael Dorris  Alexandre Dumas  M. F .K. Fisher  Michael Frank  Betty Fussell  Evan Jones  Judith B. Jones  Barbara Kafka  Madeline Kamman  Charles Lamb  Rose Macaulay  Henry Matthews  Joyce Carol Oates  Francine Prose  Paul Schmidt  James Seay  Charles Simic  Edward Steinberg  Alice Waters

There is more to be gained from our daily bread than mere sustenance. Curiosity, romance, ritual, and insight can be as much a part of a meal as any of its edible ingredients. In this delectable collection of essays on fine food and drink, twenty-two renowned writers capture the gestures, the celebrations, and the moments in which food, wine, and the act of eating transcend their initial purposes to become something far greater. A window into the eating lives of a handful of our finest literary artists, Not for Bread Alone is a tasty and most satisfying delight-a true culinary classic.
