Reviews
"This book is wonderful. It will fill your soul and your stomach."-- Jeff Garlin, comedian and author of My Footprint, " Voracious is charming, poignant, and mouthwatering-a book for anyone who has craved a meal in a novel. Cara Nicoletti's writing captures the nourishment of literature and all the magical and tempting ways food and books enrich our lives."-- Kate Christensen, author of Blue Plate Special and The Great Man, "As inviting as a bowl of homemade chocolate pudding. . . . Nicoletti turns both reading and cooking into eagerly anticipated visceral experiences."-- Publishers Weekly (starred review), "Like a wonderful appetizer, Nicoletti's entries are easy to digest and full of pleasing surprises."-- Bookpage, " Voracious satisfies two powerful appetites: for great food and for great books. We come to know Cara and her family as she digs into the lives of beloved authors-Homer, Melville, Woolf, Tartt-and discovers the best techniques for making donuts and braising lamb in wine. Her debut is a feast: warm, big-hearted, and inviting."-- Nina MacLaughlin, author of Hammer Head, " Voracious is a delicious culinary journey through Cara Nicoletti's love affair with reading; from the grilled peaches inspired by Joan Didion's 'Goodbye to All That' to The Silence of the Lambs and the chicken liver mousse that followed, this is a delightful, fun, mouthwatering intersection of the things I love most in life: books and food."-- Elissa Altman, author of Poor Man's Feast, "Her recipes... are enticing. And many of the individual essays, like one on a character in Mrs. Dalloway whose repression is expressed through her avaricious relationship with a chocolate éclair, are charming."-- Lisa Abend, The New York Times Book Review, "Nothing is more comforting than getting to know a new friend through their stories and their food. With Cara Nicoletti's book, I'm certain I have a new friend in her."-- Joy Wilson, author of Joy the Baker: Homemade Decadence, "Nicoletti serves up a mouth-watering scramble of memoir, criticism, and book-inspired recipes."-- O Magazine
