Recenzii
A vivid and detailed reconstruction of a bygone era.
Beautifully layered and lovingly detailed... a tale of extraordinary people entangled in a captivating love story.
Fabulous conceit. bon appétit.
Kelby conjures a pre-World War II world where food is almost as good as love.
In this fictional retelling of the couple's last days, Madam is determined to make Escoffier produce a dish that captures her soul and their lives together, in the hope the world will not forget their love. The book is an elegant and eloquent recreation of how relationships age and mature.
Wonderfully researched account of this enigmatic man's life. Yet one knows it is a novel by the beautifully poetic descriptions by the author. She has a real talent with words and this story of love on so many levels is memorable. I shall keep it on my book shelf and remember how much I enjoyed it.
Gastronomy writing is like erotica: it excites the appetite. Kelby depicts a man of his time, but ahead of it, too. The book is sumptuous and sensual in its detail.
This is such a romantic, sensual book full of deep passionate, yearning that fulfills its own promise that, 'Nothing speaks more accurately to the complexity of life than food.
Food is a thing of enchantment' says Escoffier, the chef credited with pioneering the modern dining experience, and Kelby's tale, gorgeously written, is sprinkled with the same magical allure.
For lovers of food and reading, there's a delectable new gem out, which weaves a sensual tale around famous French chef and writer Auguste Escoffier (1846-1935) and the two leading ladies in his life.
Nicole's writing is sumptuous and beautiful, a sensual experience to match that of eating the dishes she describes, from gallons of homely tomato sauce to a julienne of black spring truffles perfumed like new grass.
