The Gannet Created A Full Dinner Party In Song Titles
When you need a break from the food world taking itself a little too seriously, pick up The Gannet's Gastronomic Miscellany and chuckle your way back to reality. This hilarious book of parody, satire and yes, many facts, is a stark contrast to croissant-doughnut hybrids and garnishes applied with tweezers. Formulating a full dinner party in song titles requires finesse in both the kitchen and DJ booth. Reprinted with permission from The Gannet's Gastronomic Miscellany
