It details a way of life in a part of France which is rarely visited by the ordinary tourist.. Those who do visit are hikers, climbers, cyclists and others who like the outdoors, as well as those French families whose roots are in the area, but whose predecessors moved away for work elsewhere. This book, with its chatty yet informative style, has given me an insight into the deeply rural life and food of a fascinating and little-known part of France. ( ) no reviews | add a review
When cookbooks describe well-known traditional recipes, they usually provide some sort of introduction or background to the dish. In this book, however, each chapter covers a different dish at the length it deserves, mentioning its origins, etymology, geographical spread, folklore and even appearance in history and the arts, and it discusses its different versions. No library descriptions found. |
