Peter and his wife...both British, moved to a old farmhouse in Provence. This book describes their first year adjusting to everything French. French plumbers...French electricians, French idiosyncrasies and best of all French cuisine. Wonderful book.
Best of all, he follows it up with two sequels. Tonjours Provence and Encore Provence. So just as you start falling in love with the French countryside....and think it might end, you get to dive into right back in again....2 times.
If you love to read about good food, you will love these books.
Just sharing more of my favorite stuff.
Sounds like a really interesting book.
