Flavorwire, Lives of Notorious Cooks

Flavorwire lists Lives of Notorious Cooks amongst the 50 Essential Novels for Foodies.

Second “best-of-type-list” this month… Anyhow, a sort of interesting list.

Funny that some guy who thinks he owns the two English words “Great Chefs” wanted to sue over the original title. So petty.
