About the book

Alexandre Dumas's writing on food reflects the novelist's lifelong enthusiasm for cooking, ingredients and culinary culture. Drawing on recipes, anecdotes, travel and historical curiosities, Dumas ranges widely across French and international cuisine, discussing dishes, wines, animals, vegetables and the pleasures of the table. The result combines practical gastronomy with the exuberant storytelling and curiosity of the author of The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo.
