Confessions of a Flesh-Eater (Dedalus Original Fiction in Paperback Ser.)

Rating:
Summary: A delicious mix of philosophy, gluttony, erotica & decadence
Review: The story of Orlando Crispe, chef extraordinaire is (among other things) a study of misogynist pschychology (I liked the treatment of Freud in particular), an ode to gourmet cooking, a satire of restaurant (and other) critics and a philosophic tract.

Very much in the tradition of Peter Greenaway's "The Cook, the Thief, his Wife and her Lover". A bit like "Perfume", but better in my view.

Not for the faint hearted.
