The beloved author and public figure Maya Angelou will appear at the La Cantera Barnes and Noble tonight to sign her new cookbook, Great Food, All Day Long: Cook Splendidly, Eat Smart (Random House). The author of the acclaimed memoir I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (1969) has written a book of recipes for savory dishes that promote weight loss through portion control. The idea is to divide one rich meal like barbecued ribs into numerous small snacks nibbled at throughout the day. Other meals include creamy pork hash, pork fried rice, open-faced roast beef sandwiches... Basically, this book is a decadent, home-cooked meal wrapped in a suggestion of self-restraint. Good luck.
The event begins at 7, but because this is Maya Angelou, you should plan to arrive at least an hour ahead. Happy salivations!
