Kate Moses writes an interesting piece in the Guardian chronicling her baking habits while she wrote a fictional account of the last days of Sylvia Plath (also an avid baker). Since I'm both an admirer of Plath and an avid cook, this article (complete with SP's recipe for Tomato Soup Cake) is too wonderful for this cold grey day.

Posted by: deb on February 18, 2003 03:03 PMYou're welcome. I'm a huge and unabashed poetry fan, especially twentieth century American poets. I guess that's why I love intelligent songwriters.
I baked the cake today on a lark, it was pretty good! I felt like I was recreating history.
Posted by: david on February 18, 2003 03:17 PMJust to clear things up, the biographer is named Kate Moses. I imagine the baking habits of Kate Moss might be slightly more, um, exotic.
Love the blog.
