A memoir masquerading as a cookbook. Following the chronology of our daily meals, Bruce Kellner's culinary journey includes an extraordinary collection of recipes--from forgotten favorites like Salt Rising Bread, to exotic specialities like Garlic Ice Cream invented by silent screen vamp Theda Bara, to a lethal punch invented to make enemies love each other, to a chapter about leftovers called "What to do with the cold mutton." What's For Dinner is as rich in ancedote as it is in practical advice for both the beginning cook and the experienced chef.
