Oh, Persephone Books are great! I just bought a trio to send to my mother-in-law who’s housebound with a broken hip. Agnes Jekyll’s ‘Kitchen Essays’ is atmospheric period reading, and you might also enjoy ‘How to run your house without help’. I’m eager to find more of their food books. ‘Good Food on the Aga’! ‘Good Things in England’!

A proper email to follow too…

Thanks very much for that! My aunt recently harvested her garden full of tomatoes , and I find myself the proud owner of two or three buckets worth! Of course I couldnt eat them all, but I did find a website full of tons more tomato recipe at this site. A website dedicated the topic!! Crazy what you can find on the internetz nowadays!!

I do know that Hirschfield book, and I love that poem! I’m so glad I could revive this one for you. I love it when poems I haven’t thought of for a long time suddenly resurface. Thanks so much for commenting.

Oh…lovely. Thank you for reminding me of this poem. I really love that book.

This poem also reminds me a little bit of some of Jane Hirschfield’s poems in “The Lives of the Heart,” do you know that collection?…try especially “Heart Pressing Further.”

Oh you are SO not alone. Even my kids, who I generally think of as ok eaters, suddenly seem like picky tiny eaters when I start to compare us to other kids I see just forking it all in, no problem. Yogurt for dinner? That was us on Friday. After I cooked up this whole thing. You know the story.

Hugs to you. And I love Debbie too!

Melanie, thank you so much for writing this. I have to say, I had the exact same reaction while reading Eating for Beginners: I am not alone. Thank god.

Dear heavens he’s a charmer! And wow, I don’t think S weighed that much until she was months and months older. Eaters are great: she has been learning the words for all sorts of umptis and bhajis at her grandparents’ house, and devouring them too…
