Book Description:

Christopher Hare has done well for himself: one of the world's top food writers, he has travelled to the best restaurants in the most exotic locations. But when the credit crunch ushers in a new age of austerity, it's uncertain whether his audience will still have an appetite for his thoughts. Suffused with culinary delights and political menace, this funny, fast-paced novel uses a fascination with food as a metaphor for an age obsessed with excess and the ultimate rejection of it.
