Every food lover’s ultimate dream is to tour the countryside of France, stopping off at luxurious inns with world-class restaurants and sampling fresh produce and regional specialties from local markets. Imagine having veteran food writer Alexander Lobrano as your guide—savvy bon vivant, someone who lives for the pleasures of the French table and knows just where to ferret out all the delicacies in each town. Hungry for France: Adventures for the Cook & Food Lover offers just that with Lobrano sharing this thirty-plus years of exploring every corner of this gastronomically rich country with readers.
Beautifully photographed, the book’s thirteen chapters each cover a different region, from Normandy to Provence, and includes recommendations for a handful of the area’s most excellent, off-the-beaten-path restaurants, along with recipes. Hungry for France offers a delicious tour of some of the most alluring inns, food producers, and restaurants of France, with more than seventy-five recipes updating classic regional dishes. A complete list of addresses is provided to make trip planning easy.
Hungry for France will inspire you to transform your cooking at home, as well as to help plan a culinary trip of a lifetime. (April 2014, Rizzoli New York.)(Purchase)

Alec is the best kind of connoisseur—he loves the food and the people—and his book reflects that. The pictures are gorgeous, the recipes appealing.” —Ruth Reichl, author of Delicious!: A Novel

Hello:
It is my dream to take a food tour in France.
Hopefully this book will help me determine how to make this dream a reality.

Reading this excerpt gave me renewed faith that the France I know is not disappearing. Just recently a friend who has lived in Paris for more than 30 years lamented on the decline of the quality of food in restaurants in Paris. She knew when she ate a salad if it just came out of a bag rather than the ground. I’m thrilled to learn that there are still many places where good, delicious, high quality food is still being prepared and served. The excerpt has done more than whet my appetite (especially to try poulet au vinaigre); it has restored my faith.

Oh my, reading about this book indeed made me Hungry for France! Seattle is so very far from that lovely place–but a good pot of boeuf bourguignon bubbling makes me feel a little closer. Please enter me for the giveaway.
Many thanks for your blog!!
