"A devilish delight...smart, sexy, hilarious and not to be missed." - Washington Post

"This debut black comedy... is not only delicious; it's simultaneously rare and well done." - Glamour

"Nina Killham's painfully funny and disturbing first novel mercilessly harpoons foodies, gourmands, health freaks, dieters, and food writers with great style and deadly accuracy. How to Cook a Tart is gastro-porn as if Julia Childs and William Burroughs had a bastard child. Dysfunctional family melodrama, biting satire, scathing indictment, and a call to the barricades, How to Cook a Tart takes no prisoners."  - Anthony Bourdain, author of Kitchen Confidential and A Cook's Tour
