Description
A.J. Liebling's Between Meals is a vivid account of his time spent eating and drinking in 1920s Paris, where he was tutored by his friend Yves Mirande, one of the last great around-the-clock gastronomes of France.
With gluttonous joie de vivre, Liebling fondly recalls everything from glorious dining experiences to less-than-stellar encounters with food and drink. This is a love song to food, wine, and Paris, full of warmth, wit, and information.
Witty and explicit, this book is a testament to the author's passion for good food and drink, as well as his ability to convey excitement and enthusiasm through his writing. With an introduction by James Salter, Between Meals is a worthwhile read for anyone who loves food, wine, or Paris.
