Teaser Tuesdays

Teaser Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by Miz B of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
  • Grab your current read
  • Open to a random page
  • Share two (2) random teaser sentences from somewhere on that page
  • BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS (make sure that what you share doesn't give too much away! You don't want to ruin the book for others!)
  • Share the title & the author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teaser!
My Teaser:

"We ended up eating the only dishes the kitchen could provide that rainy Sunday night, clear beet broth with tiny mushroom-filled pierogi (excellent), followed by duck roasted with apples (good, but fatty), and a salad of grated carrot and celery root fixed in a cream dressing (ghastly).  It was a meal that filled our stomachs but offered little to our souls, good enough in its own way, but after our Roman experience, certainly unremarkable."

     - Keeping the Feast by Paula Butturini

  1. Oh, your Teaser makes me hungry! I'd not heard of this book before, but the subtitle makes it sound quite interesting (I'm a sucker for anything that combines food and love or food and healing and here I get all three). Thanks!

  2. Mmm...books about food always intrigue me. This one - I'm just curious as to what the Roman feast was, and what exactly all of those 'foodie' words mean. Great teaser!

    If you'd like, you can check out mine here.
