In BETWEEN MEALS, the famed New Yorker writer A.J. Liebling celebrates the tastes of a bygone era, as he initiates the reader into the fine art of eating in the great restaurants of Paris during the 1920s. As a young man in Paris, Liebling was interested not in the great writers and artists to be found there, but almost exclusively in the wonderful food he was discovering--which he describes minutely, tantalizingly, and with gusto.
