Book Preview: #1 Ben Souther, my mother’s friend, arrived with a dozen freshly killed squab. The Southers followed my parents’ lead and had a cocktail together.

#2 My mother, who was a chef, would prepare the dinner. She had been coming to this town on Cape Cod since she was a young girl. She had a major renovation done when she bought this house, and the kitchen had the best views.

#3 The kitchen was the center of the house, and it was here where Malabar performed her five-star General duties. She had little use for recipes, and she could create feasts whose aromas alone would entice ships full of men onto the rocks.

#4 I was surprised when my mother started pouring me wine, but she explained that if we lived in France, I would have had wine with dinner starting when I was eight. Everything was so damn funny that night.
