Go back to book description

December 08 2006 - Gastronimica: "Though Cooking with Femet Branca sounds like the title of an offbeat cookbook, it is, in fact, a devilishly funny novel, complete with stomach-turning recipes."

December 27 2005 - New York Times: "An opera buffa with recipes, 'Cooking With Fernet Branca' works because of the voice of its part-time narrator, Gerald Samper, a Briton living in Tuscany who describes himself as an 'amanuensis to knuckleheads.'"

November 09 2005 - Seattle Times: "Offers plenty of comic outrage and some recipes that are guaranteed to make you gag."

September 19 2005 - Washington Post: "Irresistable!"

September 03 2005 - New Yorker: "In this comic novel, two expats try to live on the same Tuscan mountaintop for the summer without killing each other."

August 30 2005 - Publishers Weekly: "The fun is in Hamilton-Paterson's offhand observations and delicate touch in handling his two unreliable misfits as they find each other--and there's lots of it."
