Throughout his long career, Wolfe's appetite for food, drink and justice never flagged. The hard cover edition of the fifth novel, Too Many Cooks (1938) cemented that link, with Wolfe at one point lecturing fifteen of the world's greatest chefs on American cooking, and even boasted recipes at the rear, while the pivotal banquet has been cited by Nora Ephron and others as the "best meal in English literature."
