The tales are not just about food but also about the memories and emotions tied to it. It's a reminder of how food can comfort and bring people together. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ hungry and emotional in the best way. *by A***R on August 2, 2016* As anthologies about food go, this one was lovely. I adored the I depth glimpses into cultures across the globe. This read left me both wanting more, hungry and emotional in the best way. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ The recipe for a perfect gift for the foodie in your life *by S***E on April 13, 2016* This is a smorgasbord of tales of all kinds with only one thing in common: as the title suggests, all have something to do with food. They are widely varied in tone and caliber, so masters of the short story like Chekhov rub shoulders with authors like Amy Tan, and you'll have a story by food writer M.F.K. Fisher as well as something by Shirley Jackson, better known for sending chills down readers' spines than for the kind of warmth and comfort you'd associate with the kitchen. What will tickle your tastebuds is probably as various as what you'd find appealing on a menu. For my part, I enjoyed encountering some stories by authors who are relatively new to me, or whose work I'm less familiar with, like T.C. Boyle, Lara Vapnyar, John Lanchester and Jim Crace. That aside, what I didn't enjoy -- and what I found sometimes didn't work for me -- was the idea of including excerpts of novels as "stories." They aren't stories -- they are excerpts, and not designed to stand alone, in isolation, from the rest of the work, simply because they happen to be about food and kitchens, etc. Hopefully, they will whet the reader's appetite for more by Maupassant, Zola, Proust, etc., but I fear not. This would be an ideal gift for the foodie on your list; the more so since it also happens to be a physically beautiful object, with a lovely dust jacket, gorgeous cream colored paper of a very high quality, beautifully bound, etc. ## Frequently Bought Together - Stories from the Kitchen (Everyman's Library Pocket Classics Series) - Garden Stories (Everyman's Library Pocket Classics Series) - Stories of Books and Libraries (Everyman's Library Pocket Classics Series) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/32358303-stories-from-the-kitchen-everymans-library-pocket-classics-series](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/32358303-stories-from-the-kitchen-everymans-library-pocket-classics-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-30*
