"My Kitchen Wars is a war story. This time, though, the warrior is a woman and the battleground is the kitchen. Her weapons - the batterie de cuisine of grills and squeezers and knives - evoke a lifetime's need to make dinner, love, and war.".
"My Kitchen Wars is also a love story; as Fussell is liberated from the tyrannical puritanism of her family by a vet of the "Good War," a young writer named Paul Fussell. But she soon finds herself captive, constrained by the roles of faculty wife and mother. Still, she cannot stop hungering for both a life of the mind and carnal pleasures. Her inner war to unite body and mind brings down the marriage, in a denouement as brutal as the whack of a cleaver.
Yet Fussell, however bruised, emerges to cook another dinner and to tell her tale in this fierce and funny memoir."--BOOK JACKET.
