description: For Maya Angelou, for whom food has often played a pivotal role in critical moments, the kitchen is a social center. In HALLELUJAH! THE WELCOME TABLE, she invites us to join her at her table as she narrates dozens of those moments and offers recipes for the food. There was the time she cooked a cassoulet for M.F.K. Fischer on the very day she moved into her new house in California; and the time her grandmother made a delicious caramel cake for her when she was expelled from school for not speaking. Also, she once got a job by cooking a down-home meal for a homesick Southerner. From meat pies, biscuits, and smoked pork chops to Beef Wellington, chicken livers, and Minnesota wild rice, Maya Angelou cooks while she entertains and is renowned for what she serves.
