"This little gem of a book is the pure expression of love: honoring Peter's memory by his thoughtful family, through his passion for holiday cooking particularly for Thanksgiving, a quintessential American holiday. Family love at its most touching. The Isacs and Jammet families have been and still are very close, having in common love and epicurean passions." --Rita Jammet, Chief Bubble Officer, La Caravelle Champagne

"Warning: this is not a book about a certain turkey dinner; this is an ode to family love and an masterpiece on how to enjoy life in general, and food and wine in particular. Nadine, PK and Chris have realized here a work of art that's beautifully crafted, very educative, and oozing of love. I dare you to open 'Gobble' at any page and not be charmed by the design, and engulfed in a wealth of very useful tips and information. Take as little or as much as you wish but fair warning: after reading this book, you will want to cook for and with the people you love every night of the week...And that's a very good thing !!!" --Ariane Daguin, CEO, D'Artagnan
