Apropos quotations plus personal anecdotes by the author make A Bowl of Soup, a Crust of Bread, and Thou fun to read. Patricia B. Mitchell, the writer (and collector of all manner of food-related factoids and quotes), includes passages which the reader will want to read aloud to somebody. “Only the pure of heart can make a good soup” (attributed to Ludwig Von Beethoven) is an example of such a quotation.
Delectable recipes like “Color Me Beautiful Potato Soup,” “Marcelle Bienvenu's Cream of Leek Soup,” “Low-Fat Seafood Gumbo,” and “Tidewater Plantation Oyster Stew” will fill your kitchen with tempting aromas, and, ultimately, your stomach with good nourishment. Breads like “Feel-Well Wheat Germ Biscuits,” “Maize 'n' Mozzarella Dodgers,” “Yeasty Grits Bread,” and “Pane di Campagna” (Hearty Country Loaf) are worthy accompaniments to the hearty soups.
This Compact Edition of A Bowl of Soup, a Crust of Bread, and Thou can be purchased as a Kindle eBook Edition (Ad*).
