Consuming Passions: A Food-Obsessed Life Overview
Written with the same flair and color as West's highly praised novels, Consuming Passions chronicles the author's love affair with food. West lends her warm, distinctive humor and often hilarious insights to the stories of her trials and tribulations as a Southern woman who becomes an "accidental gourmet".
This wonderfully entertaining volume seamlessly weaves West's evocative voice and humor to the uniquely American form of kitchen tales. Consuming Passions is rich with gracious Southern hospitality and the delicacies that accompany it, including the recipes that have passed through generations of the author's family. This tantalizing read will satisfy the cravings of West's ever-increasing fan base as well as everyone who loved Laurie Colwin, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood.
Consuming Passions: A Food-Obsessed Life Specifications
Born in Louisiana and at home in Tennessee, author Michael Lee West makes any old body feel downright welcome at her kitchen table. The coffee's hot, the iced tea is sweet, the cake's a little dry, and the conversation shows no sign of abating, even as the last page is turned and the cover is closed on Consuming Passions: A Food-Obsessed Life. The subject is variously food, family, and Mama, wherein Mama is as much a state of mind as an embodied soul. This is about the South, honey, some of which is of the New South stripe, and some of the Old.
In an easy, talkative style, author West spins tales, shares recipes, and hands out advice. In a chapter titled "Funeral Food," she includes recipes for Lemon Chess Pie and Lemon Squares. Among her rules for funeral food, she notes that dishes must be easy to transport as well as appealing to the bereaved. Some foods are simply inappropriate. "I myself have never seen appetizers at a funeral," West writes. "This is not the time to bring Better Than Sex Cake or Death by Chocolate. And it's never a good idea to use uncooked eggs in funeral food."
Consuming Passions is about home cooking, about church-basement food, about growing up in the shadow of Mama's kitchen and learning to cook away from home. West is ever willing to try something new, to fail, to try again, and to defend to her last breath the virtues of her favorite mayonnaise. West has the spirit of a close friend who'll share all her secrets, including her best recipes, some of which her various family members (we meet them all) failed to take to their graves. Sit down, pull up a chair, and get ready to listen. --Schuyler Ingle
