Stalking the Green Fairy and Other Fantastic Adventures in Food and Drink by James Villas ($26.95, Wiley Publishing) is an eclectic collection of essays (the green fairy of the title refers to absinthe, of course) that range from Southern Pig (in praise of pork) to Gastronomic Goo (a discourse on peanut butter) to Super Suds (on American micro-brews). It’s lively, insightful and packed with the author’s favorite recipes. Not required reading by any means, but a lovely distraction and amusement. |
