A Really Big Lunch: Meditations on Food and Life from the Roving Gourmand
Rating
The Pequod Review:
A Really Big Lunch is an enthusiastic, informal and big-hearted series of essays on Jim Harrison’s various food and wine obsessions, mostly of the culinarily-incorrect variety — cured meats, spices, innards, and French reds, all in gluttonous quantities. These essays have so much more personality than his comparatively formal and overwritten novels that it is hard to believe they were written by the same person. “Your meals in life are numbered and the number is diminishing. Get at it.”
