Rezensionen

'The perfect, deliciously informed read for anyone missing France or dreaming of their first trip. Carolyn's deep love and knowledge of the country and its food culture shines through every page

A love letter to the gastronomy of France, rich in anecdote, wisdom and cookery lore. It should, however, carry a warning: every chapter makes you long to up sticks and jump on Eurostar

An excellent, up-to-date guide by a fine writer who's really done her homework. She's witty, too

Carolyn Boyd offers you a fun and fascinating guide to eating your way round France. When did you last dunk a rose biscuit into Champagne? Boyd serves up dozens of delicious dishes that will make your mouth water. The book is also jam-packed with fun French history tidbits

A perfect balance of history, food, anecdotes and recommendations ... Carolyn's enthusiasm and passion for French gastronomy is legendary

This book is the most delicious combination of history, lore, legend and food, capturing the enormous diversity of French terroir and cuisine. Carolyn Boyd has created a book for every francophile (and even for those who don't know they're francophiles yet - read this and you will be). From the bistrots of Paris to the bouchons of Lyon, she introduces us to French dining, with advice on etiquette so we don't cause an international incident, and some great tips for vegans and vegetarians too. Carolyn knows her Roscoff pink onions from her Roussillon artichokes and she imparts her great knowledge with enormous warmth. This modern guide is the sort of book you will keep by your bedside and in your kitchen too - it contains some wonderful recipes, which impart the true taste of France

The woman everyone needs to pop in their suitcase if they're heading to France

Charming, informative, written by an author with a deep knowledge of and love for France, this is part travelogue, part memoir and part recipe book. A wonderful guide to the culinary history of France

A brilliantly written book that draws you into booking a trip and explore France even more
