THE UPPER EAST SIDE COOKBOOK: MAIN COURSE is a faux memoir and regional cookbook set in New York, in Parsley Cresswell's Upper East Side brownstone apartment. Her neighbors find Parsley mysterious-is it true that she had a long-ago affair with Bob Dylan? "This will be a cult classic."-Tenaya Darlington.What a lot is revealed when her annotated, uncensored recipe file comes to light. "Main Course" finds Parsley arrested for one crime and retained for suspected ties to insider trading. In an effort to establish Parsley's innocence, a friend audits the recipes left behind, which include classics and exotics, such as Gado-Gado. You can read "Main Course" without having read "The Upper East Side Cookbook: Setting the Table in a Time of Slender Means," which covered only one eventful year, 2008, in the life and busy kitchenette of Parsley Cresswell. "A deep dish, indeed."-Garrison Keillor.
