Industry Reviews
"Thorne's question is not how you can wow your guests with aïgo bouïdo but how food relates to our moral and psychological life--how we live with food. At times his meditations are intense; reading him on bread is like reading Proust on love. Elsewhere he cuts through mysteries in a stroke....He is keenly anti-snobbish....In its psychological penetration, this is more a novel than a cookbook, but you get recipes, too."
New Yorker - Joan Acocella
