Inspirational - By: Hawbeck, 02 Jan 2009 
This is a thoroughly enjoyable read for anyone interestedin food & the restaurant trade. M Blanc has a jovial entertaining style & lots of good stories to tell. I have had the pleasure of diningin several of his restaurants including Le Manoir & reading this book brings back those special memories to me as it does encapsulate the atmosphere he generatesin his restaurants. Anyone interestedin France will also enjoy the early sections of the book which give some insight into how our french cousins (or for many of us expats - neighbours)develop their respect for food & their attachement to their regional cuisine.
