Between Meals

Wonderfully readable... This astonishing book is a rich dish itself... He was the prototype of all the greedy foodie bloggers, still outdoing the lot of them

Sunday Times

A droll account of the time Liebling spent eating and drinking in 1920s Paris... Just the thing for anyone who pines for a nicely roasted guinea fowl followed by a crisp, cold slice of vacherin

Observer

As a writer, [Liebling] manages the Proust-like achievement, increasingly enhanced by the passing of time, of resurrecting a vanished world through the remembrance of foods

Spectator

You can read Between Meals for its wonderful descriptions of food, but it is also a cultural history of Paris and a bildungsroman about an American immersed in Europe’s lascivious ways... Between Meals reads like a lament for a way of being. [Liebling] craved the best of everything, on his own terms, wherever and whenever he could find it
