Synopsis
Here is a mouth-watering feast of hundreds of quotations about cooking and dining from centuries of observation. Few subjects have fascinated the great minds of history more than the preparation and enjoyment of fine food. This gourmet selection includes, amongst many others, the views of Twain on cauliflower, Colette on truffles and Waugh on yoghurt not to mention Epicurean epithets from James Thurber, Graham Greene, Samuel Johnson and even Miss Piggy and Chico Marx. Illustrated with many fine line drawings, here is an indulgent combination of two of the three greatest pleasures in life - eating and reading. 'My wife and I tried to eat breakfast together, but we had to stop or our marriage would have been wrecked.' .. Winston Churchill
