In France, famous chefs are no less popular than screen stars. Peter Mail invites readers to take a gastronomic tour of this blessed country, which the author writes about with constant love and admiration. Peter Mayle collected material for the book over the course of a year and traveled all over the country - in order to get a correct idea of the masterpieces of French cuisine, it is important to choose not only the right season (an omelet with truffles, for example, should be eaten in November), but also the place. The snail fair in Martigny-les-Blains and the cheese fair in Livarot, the wine marathon in the Médoc and the chicken festival in Bourg-en-Brés, the frog weekend in Vittel and the “light cuisine” at the thermal farm in Eugenie... This is just an incomplete list of milestones exciting journey of Peter Mayle.
