Some of the most sublime and exhilarating essays on the subject of
food are collected here in Pennell's book, first published in 1896;
this reproduction being the final edited and refreshed edition of
1922. Written as pieces for the Pall Mall Gazette, the resulting
feast presents an awed love letter to culinary excellence. Pennell
was a biographer and critic of art and cookery and, as a
world-travelled gourmand herself, brought to her reviews an
artist's sensibilities, aiming to reconfigure meals as high art,
employing the language of aestheticism to turn dining into an act
of intellectual appreciation. Quite simply one of the most
accomplished works on the wealth that is food, A Guide for the
Greedy is the perfect book for those who love any culinary
adventure, cookery books and hedonistic literature in general. An
absolute delight that will reignite your love of all food and
awaken the epicurean in each of us. "Rejoice in the knowledge that
gluttony is the best cosmetic."
