Excellent! This piece made me hungry for both roast chicken with lemons and fine culinary literature!

I agree with you. The best cookbooks tell stories. A recipe all alone is sterile. Marcella Hazan's Bolognese recipe gets the most hits on my website from all over the world.

Also my favorite food writers. Thank you for writing this, Richard. We need to be occasionally reminded of those writers we cherished years ago; bring them back into our kitchen and hearts.
