Abstract

Some of the most pressing issues for the French today pertain to agriculture and food production, whether subsidies to farmers, unreasonable eu legislation, or the concern over risks associated with genetically modified crops. These relevant ideas, which so preoccupy growers and consumers alike, are only marginally addressed in the book. For the seasoned traveler to France, Sanders’s observations about truffle hunting, the force-feeding of ducks, the rigors of a chef’s life, and the social significance of the café will not be particularly illuminating; they are too predictable. However, for the armchair traveler who has never experienced the intoxicating magic that is France, From Here You Can’t See Paris might just be a suitable starting point. —Alexandra Leaf, New York, ny Land of Plenty: A Treasury of Authentic Sichuan Cooking Fuchsia Dunlop New York & London: W.W.
