French Lessons: Adventures with Knife, Fork, and Corkscrew by Peter Mayle

2.0

This one leans more to 2.5 stars for me. The writing was solid, I just found the stories to be bland and lacking. Maybe I enjoyed Kitchen Confidential a bit too much, but after reading Anthony Bourdain, this book lacked excitement, drama, scandal and food (or other) sensuality). The premise involves Mayle participating in or visiting many food related events, fairs, etc. across France. I like his writing and the idea enough to finish it, but it certainly left me wanting more.
