This book is a lovely mixture of history, folklore and food. French food. The history goes back a long way as does the evolution of French wine and cuisine.
The history is told with a certain style that makes reading it a pleasure, and, with just enough facts to make it real. I like history, but I think even if you didn't, this book would still appeal. The regions of France as well defined and the cultural backgrounds explained. A most interesting read.
