First sentence: THE FAMILY DINNER has fallen upon hard times.
Description: Veteran food writer and columnist Marialisa Calta offers advice, strategies, and recipes from families across the country, addressing the peculiar challenges and delights of enjoying dinner as a family. Part cookbook, part survival manual, part humor book, part voyeuristic peek into our neighbors' kitchens, Barbarians at the Plate is a field guide to an all-too-endangered species these days: the family meal.
