Bon Appetit! Travels Through France With Knife, Fork and Corkscrew - Peter Mayle

The early part of Peter Mayle's life was spent in the gastronomic wilderness of postwar England. But a business trip to Paris at the age of nineteen began an enduring fascination with the French and their love affair with food and wine. In Bon Appetit! he brings to life a nation that can get passionate about a frog's leg or a well-turned omelette and organise a marathon fuelled only on Medoc.
