Excerpts from GLUTTONY: |
||
 "Chewing the fat was the Medieval entertainment of choice for royals and the top clergy."  "History of the World, Pt. I" In Mel Brooks' satire of ancient Rome, Dom Deluise does a hilarious take on Nero. Will the real pig please stand up? |
 "The prospect of an irresistible dessert made it possible to eat the meat that had been hanging around the larder long enough to apply for Social Security."  "The voluptuous quality of chocolate, with its satiny, melt in the mouth enticement, might be the closest thing to making love that a lonelyheart has on a cold winter's night. Now, doesn't that make those calories worth it?" |
|
GLUTTONY also presents an exclusive recipe collection edited by Sylvia Carter and E. Clarke Reilly.

Press Raves for GLUTTONY: MORE IS MORE...
"Nan Lyons' Gluttony: More is More is a celebration of eating with gusto. It's as diabolical as her Who Is Killing the Great Chefs of Europe? It's a hash of history by fork and goblet, a whimsical stew of wisdom from Balzac ('Temptations can be got rid of. How? By yielding to them.' ) to Miss Piggy ('Never eat more than you can lift.') to Humphrey Bogart ('The whole world is about three drinks behind.') And there are recipes for real people, like miracle meatloaf and chocolate peanut-butter pie. A gift for the pal who's tasted everything." - Gael Greene, New York Magazine
"A lot more fun than counting carbohydrates...Nan Lyons is a woman with a love of food, life and with a penchant for laughter." - Lynne Rosetto Kasper, Splendid Table, NPR

"Finally, a book that celebrates eating and drinking without the guilt! Nan Lyons exalts traditions of wining and dining from the Old Testament through the Middle Ages to the present. GLUTTONY is interspersed with wonderful artwork plus amusing quotes from the likes of Virginia Woolf, Dylan Thomas, Alexei Tolstoy and Miss Piggy. The book also has a carefully-selected collection of recipes to tempt even the most iron-willed among us. GLUTTONY: More is More is the perfect gift for any foodie friend, gourmet or gourmond in your life." - Ann-Rebecca Laschever, Newsweek |
"A delightful little gift book of culinary stories, decadent recipes, food quotations and whimsical illustrations." - Gwen Ashley Walters, OnlyGourmet.com
"A sinfully delightful tribute to those whose appetites know no bounds...All here in living color...Will have home cooks roaring with laughter." - Susan Alai and Robert Rastelli, Star-Ledger
