About this title

Review

" One of the funniest, wisest, and most unorthodox cookbooks ever written."
-- Craig Claiborne, The New York Times
" The Supper of the Lamb is a rare, distilling nectar, albeit fizzy with bubbles of humor and wit...it is fully capable of rescuing us from the dangers of mediocrity daily foisted upon us by the too-fast pace of our lives."
-- From the Introduction by Deborah Madison
" The Supper of the Lamb is as awesomely funny, wise, beautiful, moving, preposterous a book as this reviewer has come across for years....It is a love letter to a world that ' will always be more delicious
than it is useful.' "
-- The New York Times Book Review
