The Tummy Trilogy: Calvin Trillin's collection of essays on cooking and eating, both as a travelling journalist and at home with his wife, Alice. Trillin uses stories about food to write about people, such as his young daughter who would always take a bagel to a Chinese restaurant 'just in case', or his wife, whom he caught grating Reggiano into Kraft macaroni and cheese; and about place, such as the arcade in New York's Chinatown where you can play tic tac toe against a live chicken. Trillin delights in people and place, and this love comes through his crisp clean prose. To be read with bagels and lox, or perhaps Chinese food, this collection is gentle, self-deprecating and very very funny.
