Together and with a select group including Judith Jones, editor for Fisher, Childs and Beard, they cooked collaborative meals, enjoyed and analyzed great wines, talked, sparred, gossiped and began the process of separating themselves from a snobbish 50-year allegiance to a classical French cuisine that had become stuffy and overelaborate. Also in the mix was James Beard, dean of American cooking, who was struggling with his health and trying to complete a massive book on American cuisine and Richard Olney, a wasp-tongued food prodigy who had just published his first cookbook, and who was little inclined to give his elders any respect.

Whether you are reading by the lake, river, pool or in a tent, it’s nice to have something to get lost in.
