I started reading it as I was preparing to give it away unread, fully expecting it to be inane. However, it's much wittier and more more entertaining than I ever expected it to be. I'm very glad I gave it a chance. ( ) Reading this book on an empty stomach was such a bad idea. I was craving every gourmet dish the author was describing in luscious detail. The first few chapters passed quickly, I was too busy relishing the tastes and textures. But before I knew it, I actually got sucked into the plot: Jasmine, a zaftig cookbook author whose hubby had a affair with a Zone diet-obsessed actress, found the girl dead on her kitchen floor. For the first half of the book though, we're immersed in a sharp satire of everyone in Jasmine's life, be it her detoxing husband, her anorexic daughter, her dieting-and-failing neighbor, assorted neurotic cookbook writers, and other self-absorbed characters who are defined by food in some way or other. You won't want the murder mystery to be solved, for that would mean an end to the fun fly-on-the-wall trip through foodie land. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Cookbook author Jasmine March's life is like a perfectly prepared b#65533;chamel-rich, satisfying, and drenched in butter. But even a great b#65533;chamel curdles sometimes. Her husband, Daniel, has taken up with one of his Zone-dieting drama students; Careme, her daughter, is bent on starving herself to death; and Jasmine's fellow foodies have had just about enough of her astronomically caloric recipes. To make matters worse, her publisher is threatening to cancel her contract. And then there's the small matter of the dead body she finds one morning on her kitchen floor. Filled with mouth-watering descriptions of Jasmine's creations-venison stew with Madeira and juniper berries, crispy chicken breasts stuffed with goat cheese and mint-Nina Killham's smart and spirited first novel is good enough to eat.
