Oh my goodness, perfect change from the last book! Simply wonderful - the perfect piss take all of fads foodie/French and our modern society. Loved it!

Not another travel memoir... but an inspired send-up of all those lavender-scented, olive-oil-drizzled, herb-encrusted memoirs of Provence.

An irreverent, satirical take on food & travel writing. It is an amusing & farcical tale, & I enjoyed it.

Couldn't get into it. Don't like the characters and don't find it amusing. Sorry :(
