Secret Ingredients: The New Yorker Book of Food and Drink




This book has about twelve thousand stories and many cartoons that mention food, all pulled from The New Yorker, going back to the 1920s. There are stories by Woody Allen, Noah Baumbach, Don DeLillo, Janet Malcolm, Steve Martin, M.F.K Fisher and many others. Every story has some food in it. A story of mine with a chicken in it, cooked in a special way, appears here as well. The story is called, "There Should Be A Name For it."
