5.0 out of 5 stars A deliciously witty compendium of food lore---tasty and fun!, November 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Gluttony: More is More (Sin) (Hardcover)

GLUTTONY: More is More is for everyone who has ever eaten, dieted, binged or indulged a secret passion for Mallomars. Filled with stories of great banquets, diet fads and gustatory anecdotes of the rich and famous, it also includes recipes adapted from historical cookbooks, as well as some of the funniest and most gorgeous classical artwork of people enjoying their food. A sinful delight from cover to cover!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Recipes, Too, October 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Gluttony: More is More (Sin) (Hardcover)

This book is amusing and painlessly informative, and the art is really great. But I like the recipes best. They work like a charm; follow them and you and your guests will be eating like the royalty of old.
