“The most lucid and definitive book ever written in English on a
cuisine that has flourished for centuries.” —Craig Claiborne, The
New York Times

. . . History, architecture, scenery, traditions furnish his place
settings [and] color his commentary from Cro-Magnon cave living to
haute cuisine.” —The New York Times
