About this product
Product Information
A delightful, delicious, and best-selling account of the gustatory pleasures to be found throughout France, from the beloved author of A Year in Provence . The French celebrate food and drink more than any other people, and Peter Mayle shows us just how contagious their enthusiasm can be. We visit the Foire aux Escargots. We attend a truly French marathon, where the beverage of choice is Ch teau Lafite-Rothschild rather than Gatorade. We search out the most pungent cheese in France, and eavesdrop on a heated debate on the perfect way to prepare an omelet. We even attend a Catholic mass in the village of Richerenches, a sacred event at which thanks are given for the aromatic, mysterious, and breathtakingly expensive black truffle. With Mayle as our charming guide, we come away satisfied (if a little hungry), and with a sudden desire to book a flight to France at once.

Reviews
"Delectable . . . as satisfying as a meal in a Michelin-rated three-star restaurant." USA Today "Mayle's descriptions are as mouth watering as the food he samples." Rocky Mountain News "So evocative you can almost feel the bib tied around his chin and sip the last drop of Bordeaux at the bottom of his glass." The Washington Post "Charming. . . . [Peter Mayle] whets the reader's appetite for all things French. Even frog legs. Or especially frog legs." Nashville City Paper "Armchair diners will doubtless find the fourth volume…as tasty as ever." New York Magazine "Mayle's descriptions are as mouth watering as the food he samples. He captures the comic while never depreciating the subject."
