Now in her 80s, writer Angelou, a food lover who has struggled with weight and health
concerns, learned the value of portion control. In this cookbook, she recommends eating
great food (no calorie counting) in small portions all day long. Her recipes come from
childhood and from her travels and include reworked concoctions influenced and inspired
by other cookbooks she loves. Angelou breaks the rules of what to eat for breakfast,
lunch, and dinner with recipes for meals to eat any time of the day.

The emphasis is on food so flavorful that whenever it is eaten, it is savored and so
satisfying that small portions are enough. Among the recipes for creamy pork hash,
chicken tetrazzini, Swedish hash, and oxtail stew are recollections from her life and
commentary on acquired tastes and eating beyond physical fullness. In addition to the
meat dishes are sections for vegetarians and recipes for soups and desserts. Gorgeous
illustrations and extended commentary add to the appeal of this book.
