Insatiable Written By - Gael Greene Narrated By - Nancy Travis and Gael Greene Published By : Hachette Audio Runtime : 5 hours Categories : Autobiography Women Journalism Price : $24.98 $17.49 Buy Now... Gael Greene , the highly respected restaurant critic for New York magazine, whose fierce wit and sensuous prose changed the way Americans think about food, and the author of the sensational bestseller Blue Skies , and   No Candy , lifts the lid on her most provocative subject yet— herself.
