Review: EMILY DICKINSON: PROFILE OF THE POET AS COOK


EMILY DICKINSON: PROFILE OF THE POET AS COOK
EMILY DICKINSON: PROFILE OF THE POET AS COOK by Emily Dickinson

My rating: 3 of 5 stars



This slim chapbook lauds the baking prowess of the poetess. Apparenlty, her breadmaking made her more famous locally in the 1860s than her writing. There is some context and lette from Emily as well as photos from the Dickinson estate. Some recipes are family or period ones, but some are Emily's own, such as for gingerbread or a Christmas "black cake"
