"[...]macaroni. ‘Never,’ he says, ‘ask me to back a bill for a man who has given me a macaroni pudding.’ Macaroni is essentially a savoury dish and may be served with cheese or tomatoes but never with sugar and milk. There is also a useful description of how to cook risotto—a delightful dish too rarely seen in England; an excellent chapter on the different kinds of salads, which should be carefully studied by those many hostesses whose imaginations never pass beyond lettuce and beetroot; and actually a recipe for making Brussels sprouts eatable. The last is, of[...]".

About the Author Oscar Wilde was born on October 16, 1854, to the Irish nationalist and writer Speranza Wilde and the doctor William Wilde. After graduating from Oxford in 1878, Wilde moved to London, where he became notorious for his sharp wit and flamboyant style of dress. Though he was publishing plays and poems throughout the 1880s, it wasn t until the late 1880s and early 1890s that his work started to be received positively. In 1895, Oscar Wilde was tried for homosexuality and was convicted and sentenced to two years in prison. Tragically, this downfall came at the height of his career, as his plays, An Ideal Husband "and The Importance of Being Earnest, "were playing to full houses in London. He was greatly weakened by the privations of prison life, and moved to Paris after his sentence. Wilde died in a hotel room, either of syphilis or complications from ear surgery, in Paris, on November 30, 1900.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Solid gold mountain By Christopher (o.d.c.) The collection was assembled posthumously by Oscar Wilde's friends. It was mined (without acknowledgement) by Richard Ellman, who included about a third of these pieces in The Artist as Critic: Critical Writings of Oscar Wilde, but he left a lot of gold in this 450 pp. mountain.Since I can't imitate Oscar Wilde's sparkling wit, may I at least imitate him in the use of plenty of quotations from whatever books are under review- be it poetry, novels, histories of Greece, biographies:A steady course of Balzac reduces our living friends to shadows, and our acquaintances to the shadows of shades. Who would care to go out to an evening party to meet Tomkins, the friend of one's boyhood, when one can sit at home with Lucien de Rubempré? It is pleasanter to have the entrée to Balzac's society than to receive cards from all the duchesses in May fair.[...]K. E. V.'s little volume is a series of poems on the Saints. Each poem is preceded by a brief biography of the Saint it celebrates--which is a very necessary precaution, as few of them ever existed. It does not display much poetic power, and such lines as these on St. Stephen,--Did ever man before so fall asleep?A cruel shower of stones his only bed,For lullaby the curses loud and deep,His covering with blood red--may be said to add another horror to martyrdom. Still it is a thoroughly well-intentioned book and eminently suitable for invalids.[...]For my own part, I must confess that it was not until I heard Sarah Bernhardt in Phèdre that I absolutely realised the sweetness of the music of Racine. As for Mr. Birrell's statement that actors have the words of literature for ever on their lips, but none of its truths engraved on their hearts, all that one can say is that, if it be true, it is a defect which actors share with the majority of literary critics.Such a rich and wide-ranging collection should not be read straight through, although there is no table of contents, indexed or otherwise- one reason I call this mountain 'solid.' Two of the best reviews (of Chuang Tzu and Walter Pater) are at the very end. A recommended supplement to the somewhat mislabeled Delphi Complete Works of Oscar Wilde (Illustrated)

It is not "some sort of novel," as another reviewer wrote. So, if you like Wilde and are interested in his occasional writing, you might very well enjoy this collection, free on Kindle.
