Appetites for Thought is a delightful read; a deceptively small book, but packed densely with ideas. It's like a serving of fancy tapas: misleadingly small little dishes, but rich and filling once you consume them. --Popmatters This svelte little book is surprising and delightful. Only a Frenchman could have written so delectably about food and philosophy. --Independent

This svelte little book is surprising and delightful. Only a Frenchman could have written so delectably about food and philosophy. * <i>The Independent</i> * This is a thoughtful and rewarding excursus into a theme in philosophy that mostly still sits on the table going cold, while public philosophers gnaw sanguinary lumps out of each other over ephemeral trivia such as the existence of God. * <i>World of Fine Wine</i> * Appetites for Thought is a delightful read a deceptively small book, but packed densely with ideas. It’s like a serving of fancy tapas: misleadingly small little dishes, but rich and filling once you consume them. * Popmatters * An accessible and amusing read that demonstrates above all that the modern fad for competitive cuisine and utopian diets is nothing new . . . Onfray’s book is larded with amusing anecdotes. * <i>The Monthly</i>, Australia *
