Dangerous Temptations

This book will make you want to quit your job and move to France -- so it's a dangerous read for those who might act on that temptation. The book meanders all over the country, taking readers to every wonderful, delectable little outpost of Gallic gastronomic delight. Cheeses, honey, mustards, sausages, and dishes both huate and rustic fill the pages -- along with directions to help you find every one of the authors' discoveries. A must read for lovers of France, food, travel, or any combination thereof.

France for Foodies

Anyone who likes food, France, or armchair travel should check out Gastronomie! You can read it from cover to cover, chuckling as you uncover funny food fixations of the French, or following the geographic and historical themes to learn how the history of this part of Europe is really the story of what people ate. If you are planning a trip, you will certainly want to pick up some of the routes leading to food shrines not usually included in normal guide books. Or, if you are staying home, you can try out the recipes and gourmet secrets, not to mention impressing your friends with your amazing store of food trivia. (Who knew that the ditty, "Alouette, gentille alouette" referred to pate preparation? Or that one reason to visit Biarritz is the Musee du Chocolat? Or that commercial growing of mushrooms originated in Louis XIV's France?)Much more than a guide book, Gastronomie! is a conversation piece you'll enjoy with all your gourmet friends.
