Food and sex. Hunger and the psyche. These are the forces that shape our lives. 
Bunny Crumpacker has looked at food from every angle, and brings us delicious stories about what others have done and said about eating---and about making love. This is a book you can go back to again and again and keep finding more delights---including uncharacteristic comments from the famous and insightful chuckles from the author herself. 
It’s both a banquet and a late-night nosh. Taste it, devour it, and enjoy!

Chapter One

Eating Secrets

My definition of Man is, “a Cooking Animal.” The beasts have memory, judgment, and all the faculties and passions of our mind, in a certain degree; but no beast is a cook. . . . Man alone can dress a good dish; and every man whatever is more or less a cook, in seasoning what he himself eats.— Your definition is good, said Mr. Burke, and I now see the full force of the common proverb, “There is reason in the roasting of eggs.”

—The Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides with Samuel Johnson, LL.
