Description

Jason Epstein, renowned writer of Norman Mailer and Vladimir Nabokov, manager of such great cooks and bakers as Alice Waters and Wolfgang Puck, takes us on a culinary trip through his eventful life. From the great restaurants of post-war Paris towards the narrow roads of New York’s Chinatown nowadays; from a New Year’s dinner aboard the aged Ile-De France with Buster Keaton to an evening at New York’s attractive “21” cafe with the feared Roy Cohn; from Oriental eggs with the great Jane Jacobs at the fringe of the Arctic Sea into a seafood dinner with the Mailers on Cape Cod, this book honors an eternity of enjoyment in eating properly and cooking.
