Dirt: Adventures in Lyon as a Chef in Training, Father, and Sleuth Looking for the Secret of French Cooking, by Bill Buford

Bill Buford delivers in this beautiful and humorous memoir of his adventure moving his family to Lyon, France to learn the art of French cooking. Evocative and funny, Buford’s story will make you crave baguettes and want to up and move to France yourself. I love food writing, and books about France and French culture- Bill aces on both counts! 5 out of 5 bocks. Just don’t tell Lady about “Chicken La Mere Brazier”
