From the Publisher
'Never Eat Your Heart Out is a feast' - Helen Dunmore'A funny, luscious and touching book: Moore has written a new kind of autobiography, in which what you eat tells us who you are. She casts a clear eye on the old America of pigsticking, rodeo and putting up preserves, on Fifties potluck suppers and Seventies gourmet dreams, on the intimacies of texture, flavour, hunger, greed and desire. Never Eat Your Heart Out is a feast.'
Helen Dunmore
Some Press Cutings for Never Eat Your Heart Out by Judith Moore
The author is a columnist from California and the book is about her coming of age from the 1950s to the present day. Astoninishingly vivid, sensuous prose, and some of the most acute observation since MFK Fisher on the close connections between heart and stomach.
Richard Ehrlick, The Guardian 18.12.99
Never Eat Your Heart Out is a book about food, an autobiography told via the tongue and the stomach. It is original and luscious, but it also has a deeper meaning which some of its American readers seem to have missed.
