Quite possibly one of the strangest but most intriguing cookbooks I’ve ever read. If you're looking for a recipe for Sparrow’s Brains or Leopard’s Marrow then this is the book for you. Still need to try out some “Aphrodisiac Drink” and “Hysterical Water”.

When Graham Greene writes an introduction, watch out. Darling to read, in a sort of Addam's Family sort of way.

Gula y lujuria, los dos mejores pecados capitales para mezclar. Eso pensé cuando vi este libro en un escaparate. Me picó más la curiosidad cuando me enteré de que lo había escrito en los años cincuenta. Pero luego no ha cubierto mis expectativas. Es un compendio de recetas muy parecidas, explicadas de forma escueta, sin anotaciones o aclaraciones de ningún tipo, salvo cuatro o cinco "Es estimulante" o "Bastante insulso". Termina con una biografía larguísima de un adulador a su autor, que se hace bastante aburrida. No me pareció bueno ni como libro de recetas ni como curiosidad lectora.
