Sobre este artículo
Ebury Press, 2004. Soft cover. Good. Crease in spine, some general wear, yellowed edges. Half travel essay, half recipes, separated by a few pages of color photos. Michelin starred British chef takes family to Aude for a year. Better than the Tuscan Sun in its in depth coverage of foodways, anecdotal encounters with producers and connoisseurs. Still marred by the British bad habit of sardonic parochial sarcasm established and perfected by Waugh and mishandled by Mayle of what they think is humorous wittiness and yet, thankfully, most of the time on topic and sincere. Excellent introduction to the Aude region. One of the best in the food memoir genre I have read.
Sinopsis
John Burton Race was born in Singapore in 1957. The son of a British diplomat, and he spent his formative years travelling the globe, experiencing a multitude of cuisines. His family settled in Hampshire and his journey to create the most beautiful food began there, and encompassed sous chef at Les Manoir Quat' Saisons, Oxford and Head Chef and Manager of Le Petit Blanc, Oxford. In 1986, John Burton Race opened a restaurant of his own -- L'Ortolan in Berkshire, gaining and maintaining two Michelin stars from 1986 until 2000. John opened John Burton Race at The Landmark Hotel in Marylebone, London in 2000, and reclaimed not one, but two, Michelin stars within the first year of trading. In 2002, leaving their life in London behind, John, his wife Kim and family of six children set off for southern France embarking on a new life of personal discovery.
