Sinopsis

"Best of France" delivers an insightful journey through French culture, offering readers a sophisticated roadmap for authentic cultural immersion that goes far beyond typical tourist experiences. The book masterfully weaves together three fundamental aspects of French life: cultural literacy, culinary understanding, and regional diversity, presenting a comprehensive guide to navigating both the subtle and overt aspects of French society.

 
Through meticulous research across France's 13 metropolitan regions, the book reveals how seemingly simple activities - from ordering coffee to participating in business meetings - follow specific cultural protocols that can significantly enhance a visitor's experience. Drawing from anthropological studies, culinary history, and firsthand observations, it illuminates the deep connection between France's past and present, particularly in its renowned food traditions and social customs.

 
The exploration of regional identities provides fascinating insights into how local customs and cuisine vary across different areas, while maintaining their distinctly French character. What sets this work apart is its practical approach to cultural understanding, combining scholarly research with actionable advice for readers. Whether explaining the intricacies of market shopping protocols or providing guidelines for social interactions, the book serves as an invaluable resource for travelers, business professionals, and culinary enthusiasts alike.

 
Each chapter builds upon the previous one, creating a comprehensive framework for understanding and participating in French culture, from its celebrated gastronomy to its complex social etiquette.

Knead to Know - A History of Baking

Neil Buttery

In Knead to Know: A History of Baking, food historian and chef Neil Buttery takes the reader on a journey exploring the creation, evolution and cultural importance of some of our most beloved baked foods, whether they be fit for a monarch's table, or served from the bakestone of a lowly farm labourer. This book charts innovations, happy accidents and some of the most downright bizarre baked foods ever created.

Everything has a history, but food history is special because it tells so much about our culture and society, our desires and our weaknesses, from the broad sweep of bread creating human civilisation to the invention of the wedding cake, the creation of the whisk, the purpose of the fish heads in a star-gazy pie, or the fact that mince pies used to be meaty.

When we think of the evolution of something, we think every step is an improvement, an incremental elevation toward some peak of perfection as technology improves. This is not always the case. Sometimes things have to become simpler, sometimes knowledge is lost and skills forgotten. As a baker of historical foods, Neil Buttery demonstrates that forgotten recipes and traditional techniques are worth trying out (and mention a few that should perhaps be left in the past).

The reader will be inspired by the characters, creations and inventions of the past to be better and more adventurous bakers.
