Summary of Insatiable: Tales from a Life of Delicious Excess
In 1968, Gael Greene became the restaurant critic of the fledgling New York magazine. Before taking the job, shed never written a restaurant review in her life. But she was a passionate foodie, and dining in the worlds great restaurants on someone elses dime was too enticing to resist. Thus began a remarkable career charting the restaurants that changed the way Americans ate, the chefs who turned cooking into an art form, and the food and wines that launched a culinary revolution. Throughout it all, Gael is convinced that food and sex are inextricably linked, and in this exuberant account of her adventures in sensuous excess, she takes listeners on a joyride from the worlds best tables, to al fresco lunch with Julia Child and naughty dinners with Craig Claiborne and then to bed with the men she couldnt resistincluding a porn star and two Hollywood titans. The recipes she includes reflect the decades, from childhood macaroni-and-cheese to Chocolate Wickedness. Greenes tale of pleasure and heartbreak will make you laugh. It may make you cry. It will certainly make you hungry.General Books
