Stuffed  by Patricia Volk
A eulogy to food, family and a city. Patricia Volk's family have been in the restaurant business for three generations. At Morgen's, the famous restaurant which her father ran, she was the princess. In Stuffed, Patricia Volk evokes everyday life in a New York Jewish family and what it was like to grow up around an old-fashioned family restaurant. As much about families as it is about food, here are stories of eccentric uncles, grandparents and aunts like Aunt Ruthie who gave the burglar breaking into her apartment a meal and a lecture. There are tales of ancestors who were the first to bring pastrami to the New World and stir scallions in cream cheese. Highly entertaining, this is a charming recreation of a lost era.
