A
hilariously self-deprecating, highly obsessive account of the author's
adventures, in the world of French haute cuisine, for anyone whose ever found
joy in cooking and eating food with their family--from the author of the
best-selling, widely acclaimed Heat.
Bill Buford turns his
inimitable attention from Italian cuisine to the food of France. Baffled by the
language, but convinced that he can master the art of French cooking--or at
least get to the bottom of why it is so revered-- he begins what becomes a
five-year odyssey by shadowing the esteemed French chef Michel Richard, in
Washington, D.C. But when Buford (quickly) realizes that a stage in France is necessary,
he goes--this time with his wife and three-year-old twin sons in tow--to Lyon,
the gastronomic capital of France. Studying at L'Institut Bocuse, cooking at
the storied, Michelin-starred La Mère Brazier, enduring the endless hours and
exacting rigeur of the kitchen, Buford becomes a man obsessed--with proving
himself on the line, proving that he is worthy of the gastronomic secrets he's
learning, proving that French cooking actually derives from (mon dieu!) the
Italian. With his signature humor, sense of adventure, and masterly ability to
immerse himself--and us--in his surroundings, Bill Buford has written what is
sure to be the food-lover's book of the year.
