Her descriptions of Spanish food! 😍

“Glaze the top of an apple-tart and you are not merely adding sweetness and a deeper color to the crust. You are voicing your love for all that is burnished and golden and gladdening in Nature and in people and in art. Cooking is the poetry of housework” (35).

“For a penny, you got three churros, well dusted with sugar. If you did not mind being thought common, you ate them—greasy and hot and sugary—as you went along. I minded being thought common, but then, as always, my lower nature triumphed…and hardly a day passed that I did not risk being thought common” (13).

Delia’s in Spain!
