"An engrossing story about one of the world's most contentious, polarizing foods. This book may read as either tantalizing or repugnant, depending on the reader's perspective, a dichotomy that makes foie gras so compelling. Kolpas does a great job of mixing historical and literary references with foie gras facts and practical advice that would be impressive just for the research required. Thankfully, Kolpas doesn't just stop at the library stacks in telling this tale."–Joshua Lurie, founder of Food GPS
