Combining the mouth-watering memoir of Gael Greene's decades as food critic for New York magazine with her intimate revelations of bedding the likes of Elvis, Clint Eastwood and Burt Reynolds, this is a feast for the senses and an aphrodisiac for the soul.
The tastiest, most uninhibited memoir in years, 'Insatiable' is a feast for the senses and an aphrodisiac for the soul. Highly respected restaurant critic for New York magazine, Gael Greene lifts the lid on her most provocative subject yet - herself. 'Insatiable' bubbles over with piquant humour, saucy erotic adventures (with Elvis, Burt, Clint) and some of the most lovingly described meals in literature. With her passion for fine food, her nose for hypocrisy and social humbug, and, above all, her appetite for love and life, Greene traces her rise from a Velveeta cocoon in the Midwest to journalist wannabe, to powerful critic of New York magazine. Earthy and delicious but also penetrating and astute, Greene's memoir deserves a prominent place on the shelf of gastronomic classics.
