　　“On our first date, Rich ordered a chocolate soufflé at the

beginning of the meal, noting an asterisk on the menu warning

diners of the wait involved. At the time, I imagined he did it

partly to impress me, which it did, though today I know well that

he’s simply the type of man who knows better than to turn down a

hot-from-the-oven soufflé when one is offered to him.”

When Michelle Maisto meets Rich–like her, a closet writer with a

fierce love of books and good food–their single-mindedness at the

table draws them together, and meals become a stage for their long

courtship. Finally engaged, they move in together, but sitting down

to shared meals each night–while working at careers, trying to

write, and falling into the routines that come to define a

home–soon feels like something far different from their first

dinner together.

Who cooks, who shops, who does the dishes? Rich craves the light

fare his mother learned to prepare as a girl in China, but Michelle

leans toward the hearty dishes her father knew as a boy in Italy.

Rich eats meat, but Michelle doesn’t. His metabolism races through

carbohydrates, hers holds to them tightly. And while her idea of a

quick meal is a fried egg, his is to head to a restaurant. After

Rich takes additional work to pay for their wedding, Michelle

offers to do his half of the cooking chores–which, along with the

newness of their living together, challenges her feelings about the

kitchen and what it means to be a modern wife.

As they save and plan for a wedding, the nightly compromises,

small generosities, and stubborn stakings of ground that take place

around the dinner table offer a context in which Maisto considers

what she’s learned from the marriages around her, and what she and

Rich might create for themselves.
