Library Journal
An unexpected offering to be sure, but Deighton's guide to French food turns out to be as engrossing as his spy novels. Deighton is in fact the author of a cookbook, Ou Est le Garlic? ; now, in his personal Larousse , he discourses on ingredients and techniques, chefs and restaurants, the Michelin guides, food fads, and more. His amusing, opinionated text is both informative and entertaining; even the bibliography is fun to read. Recommended.
