This is a feast for food lovers and Francophiles, combining the completist virtues of an encyclopedia and the obsessive visual pleasures of infographics with an enthusiast's unbridled joy. Here are: classic recipes, including how to make a pot-au-feu and the best ratatouille; profiles of French food icons like Colette and Curnonsky; a region-by-region index of each area's famed cheeses, charcuterie, and recipes; poster-size guides to the breads of France, the wines of France, the oysters of France--even the frites of France, and much more.
