He writes with tenderness and humor about his mayonnaise-laden childhood in West Virginia and Naples, Florida (and about his father's famous peanut butter and pickle sandwich), his mind-opening marriage to a chef from a foodie family (\"Cree grew up taking leftover frog legs to school in her lunch box\"), and the words and dishes closest to his heart. This is a book to be savored, though it may just whet your appetite for more.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDwight Garner i\u003c\/b\u003es a book critic for\u003ci\u003e The New York Times \u003c\/i\u003eand was previously the senior editor of \u003ci\u003eThe New York Times Book Review\u003c\/i\u003e.
