Summary: Bourdain was right about this book.......
Comment: ....it's porn for cooks! The vivid and colourful descriptions are absolutely mind-blowing. My only advice to someone thinking about reading this is that unless you really know your stuff, you might want to have a copy of Larousse handy, as there are quite a few references to things that the average reader may not understand or know about.

Summary: High Bonnet: A Novel of Epicurean Adventures
Comment: Jean-Marie Gallois, the hero of this delicious novel, is a young sauce stirrer who aspires to win his high bonnet, the towering white toque that is the mark of achievement of every top chef. After a famous voluptuary swoons over the bitter-chocolate-scented sauce he ladles on her roast goose he is thrown into a three-star kitchen for the most brutal of trainings. Jean will win his high bonnet and the royal bearing that accompanies it - but not until he's had many outrageous adventures, both in the kitchen and out

Summary: calling all epicures
Comment: I started to devour this book, then, afraid to get to the end too soon, I began to pace myself---in order to savor the feast thoroughly. Idwal Jones's prose is totally intoxicating--his descriptions of tastes, textures, perfumes are so vivid you can almost taste the rich sauces, smell the aroma of roasting meat, get drunk on the wines. This is not a novel of events, so much as sensations. Yet all the characters are alive and convincing. Anyone who truly connects with food and its pleasures will be ravished. Makes Proust's madeleine seem poor fare.
