The Club of Angels Book

"The risk of dying really did have an effect on the taste buds." There were ten of them in the dining club, and Daniel was thrilled to have recruited a simply inspired chef, Lucidio, to cook their monthly dinner, held in Daniel's apartment. But the ten gourmets, who had started their club years ago as idle young men-about-town, rather quickly became nine when Abel succumbed after a second helping of his favourite boeuf bourguignon. And indeed thereafter the trips to the cemetery became rather too predictable as they buried Andre (the paella had been irresistible), Joao (duck a l'orange), Marcos and Saulo (quiche lorraine). The Club of Angels is an irresistible and delicious parable about the deadly sin of gluttony, and offers fascinating insights into the culinary art and those who are unable to refuse a second helping of everything good this life has to offer.Read More
