NYSL: Conversation: Susan Buckley, Eating with Peter and Dawn Drzal

The New York Society Library presents Susan’s life would never be the same after she meets Peter Buckley—a larger-than-life writer, photographer, and gourmand, a great cook and a great “eater.” Together they embark on rollicking adventures from the souks of Morocco and the waters of the Red Sea and the Caribbean to Michelin-starred restaurants in France and the markets of Provence. Back in New York, Susan and Peter incorporate their travels into their life at home, where eating with Peter was always an adventure. Eating with Peter lovingly describes a New York food world for the most part long gone, when you talked to your butcher on the phone and when no one in the United States had ever heard of balsamic vinegar and arugula was considered an exotic herb.
