What I Had for Dinner
ISBN: 9781500327842 / Angielski / Miękka / 82 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Not quite a cook book, not quite a collection of short stories, but a subtle mixture of the two. Joe Clark chooses his seven favourite food and drink items, and for each provides an associated tale or anecdote or, in one case, advertising slogan. Varying in genre from satire to romantic humour to sporting heroism, the stories reflect the sweet and sour, basic and sophisticated, liquid and solid natures of the dishes they accompany. They are also a fair reflection of the author's love-hate relationship with cooking, shopping for food and eating out.

I write for joy rather than an assignment, because my real job is practicing internal medicine and geriatrics. These essays were often prompted by patients' stories shared with me over forty years of medical care. The essays are in no particular order. I've tried to mix humorous stories with others focused on science, medicine, history, philosophy, spirituality, art, travel, and yes, some politics. Each essay can be read in five minutes, just long enough for one sitting - however, two stories might...
