Literary Feast: The Famous Authors Cookbook

The King County Library System Foundation announces an exciting new cookbook - Literary Feast: The Famous Authors Cookbook ($22.95) - to benefit literacy and lifelong learning programs in our libraries and in our communities.  

Literary Feast is a fascinating collection offering nearly 100 outstanding food, drink and dessert recipes along with author profiles plus their personal perspectives.

It features a piquant foreword by noted chef and author Greg Atkinson who understands the art of writing and knows his way around the kitchen. Notable Northwest authors J.A. Jance, Garth Stein, John Nance, Deb Caletti, and Nancy Pearl are featured alongside national bestselling writers Alexander McCall Smith, Faye and Jonathan Kellerman, and Chez Panisse’s Alice Waters.

Authors provided their favorite recipes and stories about their families, cooking, and more. The book offers a glimpse into their lives and their work and provides an array of recipes from Barry White Baked Brie (Jennie Shortridge) to Zia Irma’s Italian Sponge Cake (Adriana Trigiani) to After-Burner Chili (John Nance).

Issaquah author of young adult novels, Deb Caletti said, “This is a true crossover book that combines reader’s interest in bestselling authors with literary insight, family histories, regional comforts and even a few love stories.”

“Literary Feast is a wonderful commingling of the literate and the luscious, ideal for anyone who, like me, would rather be reading, unless I’m in the kitchen cooking or at the table eating,” add Providence Cicero, Seattle Times food writer and restaurant critic.
