Description
"What does it take to become a French chef? At first, Bill Buford (beloved bestselling author of Heat) thinks that in order to learn the fundamentals, a little time working in a restaurant, and then perhaps a few months in France, should be enough. He persuades the revered French chef Michel Richard in Washington, D.C., to take him on, but then -- after quickly realizing that working in a kitchen in France is indispensable -- he rashly, and rather radically, moves to Lyon, the gastronomic capital of France... with his wife and three-year-old twins.... Weeks turn into months; seasons go by and turn into a five-year disgression from normal life, all in pursuit of the answer to one question: What makes French cooking, well, French?"--Back cover.
