culinary treasures that Richard
Olney brought home from France

spritely and commanding Lulu

noteworthy. A second-generation

best wines and meals, Lulu has
for over 50 years been
Provence’s best-kept secret. |

French Wine and Food by Richard
Olney
Richard Olney,
best known as a general food
writer, is one of America's most
erudite experts on authentic
French cooking, but it's
difficult to find anyone who
knows much about him, except for
such authorities as Patricia
Wells and the late James Beard.
Olney has contributed so much to
French cuisine, expressing his
passion for French cuisine, what
it's all about in a most
descriptive way - his books are
great classics. |

Food & Wine of France: A Feast
of Food & Wine by Roger Voss
As you'll
discover, France is most unique
when it comes to food, even
though it's considered a
continuing gourmand(ise)
experience, especially traveling
through the Regions of France.
There are twenty two Regions in
all, and all twenty two Regions
have unique food specialties and
wines. It is a bouquet of
flavors, each Region's
specialties are uniquely their
own. It is the same with their
wines. Even though the wines
are quite different for each
area, they are basically using
the same kinds of grapes.

French Provincial Cooking by
Elizabeth David
David studies and
analyzes cooking the way a
scholar analyzes literature,
and, as a result, her titles are
far more than just cookbooks.
Along with the recipes, of which
there are many, she explains at
length the histories of the
dishes and offers splendid
advice on serving wine with the
meals. Both volumes, published
in 1960 and 1958, respectively,
contain forewords by Julia
Child. Italian Food was the
author's personal favorite.

Fisher

known food writers. The book

security--are so intermingled
that it is difficult to think of
one without the others. |

Everyday Pleasure

truffle of restaurant cuisine
gets the home treat-ment in the
attractive guide to using a

well as the fungus itself.
