-Poignant, piquant and mischievously amusing.- --Wall Street Journal-Elegant. . . . In these stories, food has the power to define characters, propel plots, cause riots and even commit manslaughter.- --The New York Times-The comedy of these amusing character studies would, perhaps, have delighted Chekhov. . . .
