Customer Reviews

superb story & recipes covering peasant foods of Gascony

Pierre loved his childhood and the people in it. His story is simply told but resonates with love and admiration for his Grandparents from whom it seems he learnt the truths of life, good food & good friends are among the most important things to have in one's life. This book will remain a treasure for years to come.The recipes may be more than a home cook wishes to tackle but if ever you are gifted with foie gras or a pheasant this book will inspire you to work wonders with these ingredients.
