The pages are enriched by family photos; dining passages from stories such asA Moveable Feast,The Old Man and the Sea, andA Farewell to Arms; his short stories; personal correspondence; and even a contribution from his last wife, Mary.

And to have a book spiked with his words and observations makesThe Hemingway Cookbooka truly extraordinary package.” —Charlie Trotter
