“Insatiable: Tales from a Life of Delicious Excess,” by Gael Greene. (Time Warner AudioBooks, $24.98)
You are not alone in loving meatloaf as much as a $100 meal at a new “in” restaurant. So does veteran New York magazine restaurant critic and renowned profiler of celebrities Gael Greene.
Her story includes all the top restaurants, Le Cirque on down, with anecdotes as satisfying as warm Italian bread. The rock stars of food, including Craig Claiborne, are all part of her life and her book, “Insatiable: Tales from a Life of Delicious Excess.”
Greene reads the introduction before yielding to actress Nancy Travis, who picks up with uncommon skill, bringing humor, sarcasm and irony with her fine voice.
What makes this a special book is Greene’s honesty about her sex life. Honesty as in affairs with Clint Eastwood, Burt Reynolds and many, many other men.
As in all her affairs, her descriptions are tasteful and sexy without being cheap with details. |Paul Lomartire, The Palm Beach Post
