Writer and editor Bill Buford lives in New York City, has a great job, great wife, great twin boys, and a pretty great life. He chucks it all to move to Lyon to learn how to cook. He and his family remain there for five years.
This book recounts their adventures in what seems to me a rather unfriendly city. And Buford indeed learns to cook, meets some wonderful people, is intrigued by the history of Lyon, and generally has a wonderful time. His descriptions of recipes and food in general were way over my head but I read every word with great interest even though I’ll never cook them or eat most of the things he describes.
I’m still not sure why I picked up this book but once I did I couldn’t put it down. I’ve always thought that a good writer is someone who can hold my interest on a subject I have no interest in. Buford is in that category. I really enjoyed this book.
