You can tell a lot about a person from what they like to eat... England in 1932 is in the grip of the Great Depression. Stella Douglas, author of a much-loved but not very successful biography, is a bit depressed herself. When she's summoned to see her editor in London, she expects her writing career is over before it's even started. But much to her surprise, she is being commissioned to write a history of English food. It's to be quintessentially English and intended to lift the sprits of the nation. There's just one problem: a lot of English food is actually quite terrible (and anything good is usually imported from elsewhere). So Stella travels across England in hopes of discovering a hidden culinary gem. What she discovers is oatcakes and gravy and lots and lots of potatoes. But when her car breaks down midjourney and the dashing and charismatic antiques dealer Freddie springs to her rescue, she is led in a very different direction... Full of wit, life, and--against all odds--delicious food, Good Taste is a story of discovery and one woman's desire to make her own way as a modern woman. 541 $d 20231102. 650 $a Antique dealers $v Fiction. 650 $a Food writers $v Fiction. 650 $a Depressions $y 1929 $x Fiction. 650 $a Man-woman relationships $z England $x Fiction. 651 $a England $y 20th century $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. 655 7 $a Romance fiction. 941 $a 4 952 $l XAPE737 $d 20240523010756.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409045207.0 952 $l TSPC862 $d 20240319010424.0 952 $l BVPE851 $d 20231212010327.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2BAA9E3298BC11EEA3C943791FECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
