An account of the author's adventures in the world of French haute cuisine, for anyone whose ever found joy in cooking and eating food with their family--from the author of the best-selling Heat.
What The Reviewers Say
... may well be an even greater pleasure than its predecessor.
You can almost taste the food in Bill Buford’s Dirt, an engrossing, beautifully written memoir about his life as a cook in France.
This is a more sober book than Heat. It’s as if Johnny Cash followed up 'Get Rhythm,' as a jukebox single, with 'Hurt.'.
Like all sequels, Dirt struggles with the successful formula of its predecessor.
