The Passionate Epicure: La Vie et la Passion de Dodin-Bouffant, Gourmet (Modern Library (Paperback))

I found this on a Daily Meal website of the top 10 food books of all time. It is really wonderful and if you're into food, you'll enjoy it totally. Is also a good history of the times and area.

Very enjoyable book.. Good writing.

This translation of a classic of French literature captures in a hundred pages the essence of French Cuisine. Chapter 4 gets to the heart of what August Escoffier once said, "The simple foods are the best." If this book doesn't make you want to drop everything and visit France, nothing will.

j'ai acheté le livre suite au titre en français et il était écrit .... en anglais.
