A PARIS CHRISTMAS AN IMPROBABLE TALE OF GOOD FO...

A Paris Christmas is the charming  funny and improbable tale of how a man who was raised on
white bread - and didn't speak a word of French - unexpectedly ended up with the sacred duty of
preparing the Christmas dinner for a venerable Parisian family. Having fallen in love with a
French woman and impulsively moved to Paris to marry her  LA-based film critic John Baxter
could hardly refuse the challenge of cooking up a feast for his sceptical in-laws. But what to
cook? And how to make it palatable to such a terrifying band of gastronomes. In this sparkling
memoir  we follow Baxter's misadventures and delicious triumphs as he visits the farthest
corners of France in search of the country's best recipes and ingredients. Irresistible and
fascinating  this book is a cultural and culinary education which teaches us the difference
between food that is just edible and something feeds the soul.
