These books are wonderful. The picture they paint of rural France is amazing. Reading these books is like taking a small vacation. And, on top of all the great imagery, there is such beautifully written descriptions of the love of food and wine and the preparation of phenomenal meals enjoyed by friends. There is even a wonderful “Bruno“ cookbook.
