I thoroughly enjoyed 'Savory Suppers and Fashionable Feasts' for its meticulous research and captivating storytelling. Lesley Ann Fogle's narration is soothing and engaging, making the audiobook a pleasure to listen to. The author's exploration of Victorian America's dining culture is fascinating, and I appreciated the way she wove together historical events, social commentary, and recipes. However, at times the narrative felt a bit slow, and I wished for more concise chapter transitions. Additionally, some listeners might find the lack of accompanying recipes or cooking demonstrations disappointing. Overall, it's a well-produced and informative audiobook that will appeal to those interested in culinary history.
