A wonderful year, spent in a place that offers good wine and tasty food is what everybody would have at least once in life. For each month passing you could find several habits, recipes and moods from the part of France that probably is closest to Italy. After reading this book you'll try to leave your country if it hasn't food&wine traditions (or you'll apreciate your spanish or italian origins if you have them).
People from Provence, in this book, are rough but kind, easy but troubled but know hot to enjoy life.

Funny and light... It actually made me laugh out loud. Great descriptions on food... A little window onto French Village life...
