Zusammenfassung
"Carol Durst, an important New York City caterer for fifteen years starting in the early '80s, celebrates her craft and its unsung heroes," writes Sara Moulton, chef, author of "Home Cooking 101: How to Make Everything Taste Better," and host of TV's "Sara's Weeknight Meals." "The food industry was more collegial then; co-workers and fellow chefs were family. There were no big egos; it was about getting the job done and done wellsometimes in daunting circumstances. Along the way, we're also given a portrait of the city at the time, which was marked by the devastation of the AIDS crisis. It is a fascinating read."Durst-Wertheim takes us on a vivid journey from the very beginning of her successful career, starting a business, raising a family, and moving to the New York suburbs. She has a blithe precision as a writer, a keen eye for people and their human nature, and a marvelous, well-honed sense of the preposterous that will by turns amuse and deeply move her reader.
