French Lessons: A Journey with a Knife, Fork and Corkscrew P. Mail Book

Product description from producer

In France, celebrity chefs are as popular as screen stars. Peter Mail invites readers to take a gastronomic tour of this blessed country, about which the author writes with unfailing love and admiration. Peter Mayle collected material for the book over the course of a year and traveled all over the country - in order to get a correct idea of the masterpieces of French cuisine, it is important to choose the right season not only (an omelet with truffles, for example, should be eaten in November), but also the place. Snail fair in Martigny-les-Blaine and cheese fair in Livaro, wine marathon in Médoc and chicken festival in Bourque-en-Bresse, frog weekend in Vittel and "light cuisine" at the thermal farm in Eugenie ... Here is just a partial list of milestones Peter Mayle's fascinating journey.
