Product Description
How, exactly, does a young restaurateur set up business in rural France? In his delightful sequel to Virgile's Vineyard, about Languedoc's winemakers, Patrick Moon offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of life in a serious French kitchen.
Rich in truffles, oysters, olives, and eggplants, the Languedoc region of France is a gourmet's paradise. It's also full of wonders to explore: the secrets of olive oil and salt production, the Roquefort caves, the miracle of the sparkling Perrier Springs. But is it the perfect place for an ambitious young chef to open a restaurant? Intrigued by Laurent Arrazat's determination to achieve perfection on a shoestring, Patrick Moon rolls up his sleeves and pitches in. For a year, he shares in the triumphs, disasters, and sheer hard work of restaurant life. By turns informative and funny, this is a captivating tale of culinary ambition, mishap, and discovery.
