As a young bookworm reading in her grandfather's butcher shop, Cara Nicoletti saw how books and food bring people to life. Now a butcher, cook, and talented writer, Nicoletti serves up stories and recipes inspired by beloved books and the food that gives their characters depth and personality in Voracious: A Hungry Reader Cooks Her Way Through Great Books. From the breakfast sausage in Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House in the Big Woods to chocolate cupcakes with peppermint buttercream from Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections, these books and the tasty treats in them put her on the road to happiness. “All in all, a pleasure for hungry readers,” our reviewer writes. We talk to Nicoletti this week on Kirkus TV.
