Industry Reviews
"The book is a veritable salmagundi, a bouillabaisse, of discourses. in a health-conscious, guilt-ridden age, it has the illicit frisson of a dirty magazine in a monastery."
Washington Post Book World - Henry Louis Gates Jr. (12/08/1996)

"[I]nside this encyclopédiste was a thoughtful, witty man....It was Brillat-Savarin who established, as a modern literary convention, the moral discussion of food....He felt that he could know humankind through food, and by telling us his conclusions he tells us about himself."
New Yorker - Joan Acocella (12/06/1999)
