...coveted Grand Prix of the Poêle d'Or in 1968. Though Peter says grandly in her preface that "we are liberated from the potato, which modern industrialization has made tasteless," her chefs offer five tasty dishes made with the proscribed pomme. An intriguing zucchini soufflé mistral comes from Colette Maudonnet, whose restaurant, Aux Naulets d'Anjou, is 160 miles southwest of Paris. Dominique Nahmias, who at 26 claims to be the youngest woman chef running a restaurant in France, the Olympe in Paris, prides herself on her salmon steaks cooked on a bed of sorrel...
...throat, writing movingly about a workaholic who dies at 51, a faded flower child of the '60s, or women who outlive their husbands. She can elicit a hearty chuckle by recounting how she lavished "time, money, attention and great expectations on four of the only all-male zucchini plants to exist in the memory of my county Agricultural Extension Service." Her feminism is sharp but not strident.

From his room comes the sound of Italian opera and language lessons, he has renamed the family cat Fellini, and induced his mother to cook what his father disgustedly calls "ini" food-zucchini, linguini, that sort of thing...
Jacobson's new training school is called Sub-Sea, Inc. His course runs two days, costs $150, begins with instruction in his home, where the student studies the S 250 on paper and is likely to be plied with splendid zucchini bread and coffee by Jacobson's wife, Georgia May, a schoolteacher at Warwick's Gorton Junior High School. On paper, operating the sub seems, well, child's play. Merely a matter of opening a few valves to let water into the ballast tanks until the S 250 has achieved "neutral buoyancy," then directing the thrust...
