"There is poetry in menus," she writes in HOW TO EAT A PEACH:
Menus, Stories, 'They can transport you to the Breton coast, or to
a Saturday night in Manhattan; they are short stories.' From anyone
else, this kind of sentiment might signal the earnest preciousness
that rings food writing's death knell. Not from Henry, who's built
her brand on what you might call poetic practicality."--The New
York Times Book Review
"There's an elegant quality to the way she artfully folds her
inventive recipes with her stories that is harmonious yet
approachable for the home cook."--Nik Sharma, A Brown
Table

why."
