520    "A funny, moving memoir about a son's discovery that his 
       mother has a genius for understanding the intimate 
       connections between cooking, people and love. Peter 
       Gethers wants to give his aging mother a very personal and
       perhaps final gift: a spectacular feast featuring all her 
       favorite dishes. The problem is, although he was raised to
       love food and wine he doesn't really know how to cook. So 
       he embarks upon an often hilarious and always touching 
       culinary journey that will ultimately allow him to bring 
       his mother's friends and loved ones to the table one last 
       time. The daughter of a restaurateur―the restaurant was 
       New York's legendary Ratner's―Judy Gethers discovered a 
       passion for cooking in her 50s. In time, she became a 
       mentor and friend to several of the most famous chefs in 
       America, including Wolfgang Puck, Nancy Silverton and 
       Jonathan Waxman; she also wrote many cookbooks and taught 
       cooking alongside Julia Child. In her 80s, she was robbed 
       of her ability to cook by a debilitating stroke. But 
       illness has brought her closer than ever to her son: Peter
       regularly visits her so they can share meals, and he can 
       ask questions about her colorful past, while learning her 
       kitchen secrets. Gradually his ambition becomes manifest: 
       he decides to learn how to cook his mother the meal of her
       dreams and thereby tell the story of her life to all those
       who have loved her."--Amazon.
