Another delightful book from Mayle. In "French Lessons' he recounts his travels around France and the countries numerous gusttatory pleasures.

This book is about food - frog legs, cheese, chickens, etc. I didn't like it nearly as much as 'A Year in Provence' and it's follow ups, but it was better than 'Acquired Tastes' which was downright dull in parts. Mayle loves France and its people -- he brings them and their love of a good meal to life on these pages.
