London: Picador, (1996) dj. SIGNED hardcover first edition - The author's first book, a combination of novel, cookbook, and epicurian philosophy. A book narrated by "Tarquin Winot as he embarks on a journey of the senses, regaling us with his wickedly funny, poisonously opinionated meditations on everything from the erotics of dislike to the psychology of a menu, from the perverse history of the peach to the brutalization of the palate, from cheese as 'the corpse of milk' to the binding action of blood." SIGNED on the title page. 232 pp. ISBN: 0-330344544.
