Book Description
Amazon.com
While this might sound like a cookbook, it's actually a travelogue focusing on the foods of various regions in France. Instead of providing information on what visitors should see during their travels, Waverly Root reveals what they should
eat. Root, who made his living as a foreign correspondent and has written several volumes on his penchant for food, is an excellent guide whose descriptions will convince globetrotters that there's much more to travel than sightseeing. The book, along
with Root's The Food of Italy won the 1990 James Beard Cookbook Award.
Product Description:
Embraces not only the marvels of French cooking but French history, language, landscape, and customs as well. Here is France for the traveler, the chef,
and the connoisseur of fine prose. Maps and b and w line drawings throughout.
