Abstract	"In this enticing new book, historian Rachel Hope Cleves explores the long association between indulging in good food and an appetite for immoral sex. From the Parisian invention of the restaurant (which soon became a popular place for men to meet with prostitutes and mistresses) to the intersection of culinary and erotic tourism, she reveals how these anxieties colored cultural norms of respectability and gender. However, the link between gourmet foods and disreputable sex allowed bohemians, new women, lesbians, and gay men to embrace epicureanism as a sign of their rejection of bourgeois sexual morality. A taste for good food become central to queer culture in the twentieth century; only after the sexual revolution did straight men and women reclaim eating for pleasure as respectable through the archetype of the 'foodie.' Taking readers on a gastronomic journey from Paris to London to New York, Chicago, and San Francisco, Lustful Appetites reveals how this preoccupation changed the ways we eat and the ways we are intimate--as well as how stigmas persist well into our own twenty-first century."--From jacket flap copy.
