With apologies for repeating an author already on my list, but in my defence it is a very different book to ‘The Food of Morocco’ already mentioned. I first encountered this on the shelves of kitchen in - yes - south west France. It was full of just the kinds of recipes that fitted the culture, produce, and general feel of the area. A treasure.

In her introduction Paula Wolfert sums up for me why I love this practical , hands-on book and find myself returning to it time and time again: “The idea is that you too can possess the South-West not merely in words, but in that most tangible and sensuous necessity of people’s lives: the wonderful food they eat” : a truly delicious book!
