Every food lover's ultimate dream is to tour the countryside of
France, stopping off at luxurious inns with world-class restaurants
and sampling fresh produce from local markets. Imagine having as
your guide a bubbly bon vivant, someone who lives for the pleasures
of the table and knows just where to ferret out all the delicacies
in each town. This book delivers just that. Each chapter takes one
of 13 regions, from Normandy to Provence, and first gives
background on the roots of its particular style of cuisine. Then
come descriptions of a handful of the region's most excellent,
off-the-beaten-path restaurants, and recipes inspired by them. It's
all written in Alexander Lobrano's inimitable charming style, the
familiar voice of a seasoned traveler who's rediscovering many
cherished memories along the way. Uniting all of the places in the
book is an embrace of the farm-to-table ethos that has swept
France's new generation of chefs. This is best embodied in the
concept of the auberge -a country inn with a restaurant where all
the food is supplied from surrounding area farms. But there are
plenty of other stops to entice you to continue: vineyards, bakers,
patisseries, specialty shops, and other places of culinary
interest. The 75 recipes sprinkled throughout exemplify
contemporary riffs on quintessential regional specialties. For
instance, from Normandy, there are Shrimp Broth with Langoustine
Croutons and Apple Tart with Calvados Gelee, from Provence, Beef en
Daube and John Dory Roasted Nicoise Style, from Burgundy, Radishes
Marinated in Walnut Oil and Black Cherry Clafoutis. Hungry for
France will inspire you to transform your cooking at home as well
as to plan the trip of a lifetime.
V januári 1965 Gabriel García Márquez cestoval s rodinou na
dovolenku do Acapulca, keď odrazu dostal nápad. Začul vravu
mestečka Macondo. Už vedel, ako napíše svoj nový román. Vrátil sa
domov, zatvoril sa do pracovne, a keď z nej po osemnástich
mesiacoch vyšiel, v ruke držal 1 300 strán rukopisu a bol šťastný.
Román Sto rokov samoty prvý raz vyšiel v roku 1967, Márquez mal
vtedy 39 rokov a svet si navždy zapamätal jeho meno. Dnes je román
považovaný za jedno z najvýznamnejších diel latinskoamerickej a
svetovej literatúry. Je komponovaný z množstva reálnych aj
fantazijných epizód a rozpráva o pôvabných i krutých príhodách
šiestich generácií rodiny Buendíovcov z fiktívneho mestečka
Macondo.
