Food is more than just sustenance. Food is memories, traditions and love. Food, however, is also part of our culture. It is edible history passed down from one generation to the next. Nearly everything we eat and drink has a story, and knowing that story will make you enjoy and appreciate what’s on your plate (or in your glass) even more.
Dishing it Up features a mouthwatering selection of interesting (and often surprising) stories behind some of the most popular French food and drink items. From when the first snails were devoured in France, to why you should order a jambon-beurre or oeufs mayo the next time you visit Paris, this book will take you on a gourmet journey that may just leave you hungry to discover more. Included after some stories is a recipe inspired by the product discussed. You’ll be dipping the prettiest madeleines into your afternoon tea, baking up a pissaladière just as they do in Nice, serving pork chops in tangy mustard sauce, and much more.
Taste your way through a slice of French food history in this deliciously entertaining book!
