Summary: Jones is a longtime editor and friend to many culinary celebrities, including Julia Child, James Beard, and Chuck Williams (of Williams-Sonoma fame). Jones traces the interesting history of American trends in food during recent times--from prepared food to ethnic foods to vegetarian fare and beyond. Her stories of Child reinforce our notion that she was indeed a colorful and talented cook; we also find out how Beard came to be known as a bread-making wizard. There are useful, straightforward recipes for hermit bars, "Frenchified" meatloaf, bread pudding, frozen maple mousse, flummery, and some harder-to-find dishes. In addition to mouthwatering descriptions of various dishes, Jones offers an inside scoop on the publishing world. The story of her life is enjoyable in itself, and the added tales of the famous are the frosting.
