    A Taste for Life.
  

*by B***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 21, 2004*

I have to say first of all that I'm a sucker for all of the "Paris in the early part of the twentieth century" literature.  I love Celine and Miller, but my favorite was Hemingway's A Moveable Feast.  Well, Between Meals is no A Moveable Feast but it certainly is a high quality read that I can unquestionably recommend to you.Liebling, make no mistake, is a top notch writer and his sentence structure, use of metaphor, and style have much to offer aspiring wordsmiths.  He has an eye for the essential and this is particularly true if you're at all like me as far as food is concerned.  Liebling is a true gourmand and, even though I am completely unlearned and unappreciative in regards to fine dining, I still enjoyed his narration and memories of that splendid age.The best of these essays is "Passable" where he recalls his old girlfriend from his student years.  Liebling informs us that he does a poor job in reconstructing her but his description of their romance is quite compelling.  I loved that essay just as I did the one on Mirande.  This is a world long gone but we're fortunate that books like this are still in print.  Reading it will give you a snapshot of beauty that will hang like a Renoir in the corridors of your mind.

    Foodies pornography!
  

*by J***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 12, 2012*

This is one of those books that, as you very reluctantly finish and shelve it you think to yourself "Damn! Where has THIS author been all my life?" Needless to say perhaps (but then we always go on to say it!) my next order is already in and awaited. Brilliant, witty, readable prose from a professional who earnt his keep as a columnist on the great magazine - as it once was - The New Yorker. Born to a well-off family, in the summer 1926, Liebling sailed to Europe where he studied French medieval literature at the Sorbonne in Paris. Supposedly.Having blackmailed his father into funding a year in Europe - and having spent his first year's allowance before he even left! - Liebling actually spent his second adequate monthly released funding studying "feeding".Despite a reputation based on his New Yorker columns on life, boxing and mankind's foibles it is his writing on food and `feeding' for which he is mostly acclaimed. His editor decried his claims to be a gourmet, and as was explained by my own `feeding' French mentor many years after his 1916 ventures, he was assured he was actually a gourmand. Jointly our shapes at our stages of maturity confirm this more apt definition!Wonderfully witty but actually very astute writing on restaurants, food and wine demonstrate this author's ability to ensnare the reader in his works. Almost weeping for my `long lost' Paris at the end - sated and stuffed - I put aside this greedy `foodies' pornography with reluctant glee.Great reading! Bon Apppetit!
