About this ebook
"The chapter headings say it all: Corruption and Decay; Blood, the Vital Ingredient;The Gastronomic Mausoleum; and I Can Recommend the Poodle. This is a not a normal cookbook but a slightly sinister and highly literate feast of decadent writing on food. There are dishes from the tables of Caligula and the Marquis de Sade, a visit to Paris under siege (when rat was a luxury), some unexpected uses for cat food and some amblongous recipes from Edward Lear. There should be something here to delight and offend everyone: the recipes for cooking with endangered species looking particularly tasty. Mouthwatering."

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In terms of unlikely but perhaps true, The Decadent Cookbook beats the recipe for souris a la creme from Farley Mowat's Never Cry Wolf in spades. You can avoid most of the stomach-turning details by skipping the recipes and reading the literary extracts.Overall, for people with strong minds and stronger stomachs.
