This is a memoir of a food critic! It is personal and funny and sheds an unflattering light on the gourmet restaurant scene. I found it delightful... a good summer read with some darker undertones. The recipes at the end of each chapter look delicious and fattening or are those the same thing? A friend tried the cheesecake and it was superb. The author is caustic, observant and obsessed with good food which she describes in what only can be called a "mouthwatering way". After reading this, I got the others she wrote as well and enjoyed them all.
