"The Moment" blog of NY Times praised the latest in the cookbook industry in the New York Fashion Week atmosphere - American Fashion Cookbook, with forward by Martha Stewart. The book is meant to satisfy any craving of a "stylish soul." What is that anyway?

The initiative of The Council of Fashion Designers of America, Inc. sounds yummy, but to paraphrase Oscar Wilde’s "art for art's sake", " fashion for fashion's sake" is made for the pure satisfaction of the designers and the unsatisF*CKtion of the models."Taken in one fell dinner swoop, Herrera’s and Posen’s dishes aren’t going to fit you into any size 0’s (or 2’s, 4’s or 6’s, for that matter). Try Derek Lam’s yellowtail crudo for that. But like a Herrera gown or a Posen party dress, they aren’t meant to be used every day."- (Joshua David Stein, Pret-A-Manger/ Designer Recipes, The Moment blog New York Times)

...So dream on "Stylish souls"...whoever you are.

Buy the book and enjoy…the “chic object and the original illustrations” (Assouline.com, about the book), which decorate the pages. You’ll keep your job for one of those heartless gourmand designers and you’ll remain an unsatisF*CKed size 0.
As much as I like fashion and food, I don't see how they work well together, in this context, without offending anyone.

You, designers out there, you're damn lucky that your malnourished employees don't riot. They are so starving, they can barely make it to the catwalk and back.

So, here's to you, The Harmless UnsatisF*CKed Size 0s, which I've never been!
