In Life is Meals James and Kay Salter have compiled fascinating essays and stories about food, life and people that are often historical and sometimes legendary.  They touch on everything from famous chefs, single ingredients, and the occasional recipe to historical figures and celebrated food regions.  The writing is impeccable and witty.  Entitled 'Fox's Household Guest Rules,' one excerpt reads: 'Never arrive early. Bring a house present the hostess will love. Stay to yourself for at least three hours a day. Don't sleep in the wrong bed. Play all their games. Leave on time.'
