Spaghetti On The Wall

Do wine writers suffer? What's the point of truffles? Why are so many of the experiences you fall in love with abroad so impossible to recreate once you return home? Spaghetti On The Wallis the story, on the surface, of a middle-aged food writer's feeble attempt to remake a renowned chef's famous dish. But it's also about second - and third - chances, a man caught between Italy and suburban regret, Thomas Jefferson's melancholy fondness for pasta, and the present state of food culture. Funny, moving, and thoroughly delectable, Spaghetti On The Wallproves there's no failsafe recipe for recreating the past, and that sometimes our only choice is to start from scratch.
