With apologies for repeating an author already on my list, but in my defence it is a very different book to ‘The Food of Morocco’ already mentioned. I first encountered this on the shelves of kitchen in - yes - south west France. It was full of just the kinds of recipes that fitted the culture, produce, and general feel of the area. A treasure.

In her introduction Paula Wolfert sums up for me why I love this practical , hands-on book and find myself returning to it time and time again: “The idea is that you too can possess the South-West not merely in words, but in that most tangible and sensuous necessity of people’s lives: the wonderful food they eat” : a truly delicious book!

Perhaps my favourite region of France – duck, prunes in Armagnac, more duck. Complex recipes which inspire me rather than bind me to following every last letter.

Paula is my favorite cookbook author and this is my favorite book of hers. I love the Catalan Lamb and Bean "Cassoulet"

A book that concentrates on duck fat, prunes and pork has to be good.
