“Delectable . . . as satisfying as a meal in a Michelin-rated three-star restaurant.” —USA Today

“Mayle’s descriptions are as mouth watering as the food he samples.” —Rocky Mountain News

“Charming. . . . [Peter Mayle] whets the reader’s appetite for all things French. Even frog legs. Or especially frog legs.” —Nashville City Paper

“Armchair diners will doubtless find the fourth volume...as tasty as ever.” —New York Magazine
