From the inside of the dust jacket...."This is not a cookbook (although no one will be blamed for trying the delectable recipes it contains for eggplant parmigiana, veal fillet with anchovy souffle, or gulab jamun from India). It is instead a novel, in which a trio of high-living superchefs create a restaurant whose spectacular cuisine captivates Hollywood's elite and succeeds beyond the wildest dreams of all but one. This is Guy Proudlink, whose dream kitchen is in Antarctica, which is to say in his mind for the time being. Meanwhile, problems of love must be overcome, infidelities must be sorted out calmly among adults, and dinner must be served.

Does Guy, with his daughter Arietta, make it to McMurdo Sound and thence across the frozen fastnesses to the Icebox of the Antipones? Well, yes, he does. And The Antarctic Cookbook will tell you how

Athor Crispin Kitto, a star chef in his own right, delights the mind and the senses with this novel that is sure to find a unique and lasting second calling in your kitchen.
