Dirt: Adventures, with Family, in the Kitchens of Lyon, Looking for the Origins of French Cooking by Bill Buford

2.0

he should've called it "dirt: adventures in receiving special treatment in france for five years while my wife raises our children." this book is so shockingly bourgeois it almost reads like a fantasy novel at points.

which, obviously, is why i wanted to read it. but when you remember that this guy is the one who coined the term "dirty realism," you end up a little shocked at how much bordeaux he gets to drink
