Customer Reviews

A great gift idea!

If you have a friend who likes cooking, or has a passion for history (or maybe a history of passion), I highly recommend this book as a great gift-giving idea, and for your personal library as well!I bought four copies: one for myself and three copies to give as birthday presents. One recipient's co-workers were so delighted with the book, that ten of them went out and ordered it right away!

an entertainingly lacivious view of cooking

This book is not only filled with wonderful recipes, it is a delight to read. Jo Foxworth gives an informative and often humorous perspective into some of the most infamous houses of pleasure around--most of whom maintained their success with extravagant dinners. With great pictures, delicious recipes, and fabulous stories, The Bordello Cookbook goes a long way toward proving the old adage that a way to a man's heart is through his stomach!
