review 1: Just loved this book as would anyone who loves Paris and French food. John has this great writing style that is very engaging and he weaves stories for the reader encompassing real time experience and history. And then on top of that, he builds in such interesting characters. One of the things I like most about John's writing style is that he takes you with him on the journey, makes for a real page turner but you are sad to say goodbye.
review 2: This was an informative, likable story about one man's quest to indulge in the original French dishes before they disappear. He scours the countryside tasting dishes, finding ingredients and people who make fresh, hearty "authentic" food.Along the way, the author entertains us with background information and facts on ... moreFrench cooking and eating. I always enjoy books about food and the dedication and effort that goes into creating and then savoring a simple, but delicious meal. I liked the history that John Baxter included, as well. I received a complimentary copy through the Goodreads giveaway program. less
