What does it take to master French cooking? This is the question that drives Bill Buford to abandon his perfectly happy life in New York City (with a wife and three-year-old twin sons in tow) for Lyon, the so-called gastronomic capital of France. What was meant to be six months in a new and very foreign city turns into a wild five-year digression from normal life, as Buford apprentices at Lyon's best boulangerie, studies at a legendary culinary school, and cooks at a storied Michelin-starred restaurant, where he discovers the exacting (and incomprehensibly punishing) rigueur of the professional kitchen. With his signature humor, sense of adventure, and masterful ability to bring an exotic and unknown world to life, Buford has written the definitive insider story of a city and its great culinary culture.
