This review is from: Someone Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe (Hardcover)
Most people probably know this book as the basis for the 1978 movie "Who is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe?" Indeed, the movie borrows the premise of the book and most of the characters, and much of the funny repartee, especially from the corpulent food critic Achille van Golk (called "Max" in the movie, and memorably played by Robert Morley). However, the movie changes the ending and eliminates a lot of the sexier material in the book, so even if you are familiar with the one, there is still reason to try the other.

This review is from: Someone Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe (Hardcover)
I enjoyed this book when it was first published and carefully guarded my copy. Somehow over the years it went astray. Now that I wanted to read it again, I ordered and received a beautiful, vintage copy that I will not loan out.
The book is an entertaining trip through the world of the professional chef as they are murdered in unique ways. The dialog is entertaining and the characters memorable. The egos of the characters are almost too big to be contained within the volume. Hilarious, entertaining, a little informative, just fun! |
