Neolithic Culinary Delights is a Stone Age journal: the story of Eve, a roaming cave-woman, who resolves the pangs of hunger by settling down to grow her own food. Eve and her family join other families; they start a settlement that eventually grows into a prosperous village: FLOUR POWER. Savvy Eve acquires a food fortune. In the Middle East: wheat; Peru: potato and corn - and the belly-food of Asia: rice. In the beginning there was a tongue, lingua/language: from Stone Age campfire TALK - to 21st century mass SPEECH on the Internet. My laptop/pen is the tongue of my mind. Give me PIZZA; guacamole with CORN chips and French-fried POTATOES; Rice Krispies for breakfast, and for dinner fried RICE!
About the Author

"Neolithic Culinary Delights" saw the light of day (1968) as a five-page "essay" on Stone Age foodstuffs. Twenty years later she got the green light from her professor to carry on. While doing research for the stories, she wrote three novels under the pen name of Camelia Rose: The Kiss, She Had to Plan, and The Blue Mirror. Ms. Pitcairn lives in Bucks County, Pennsylvania.
