A Bite-Sized History of France: Gastronomic Tales of Revolution, War, and Enlightenment | 
pickVan Gogh‘s sunflowers build continues while I finish this book. I loved learning where the food we associate with France came into existence and what was happening at that time. I have travelled a fair bit in France so I could picture so many of the places the author talked about and the food too. It‘s time to go back
Continuing with Van Gogh‘s sunflowers and this audio book- I am going to NEED a trip to France after this
The whole first layer is finished - up to bag #22 - from here on out it‘s details 🎉🎉 I am thoroughly enjoying this history, remembering my essays written on the Black Death in uni, but having completely missed the price the Jewish people paid ( W the AF ) when they were blamed even before the disease arrived in towns 🤬
My last audio book got clawed back before I finished so I started this while I do errands, putter and Lego ( this is Van Gogh‘s Sunflowers )
pickI really enjoyed reading this version of French history.
pickVery informative!

pickThis was a charming culinary history that I wasn‘t able to finish before it‘s library due date. I could have used more information about the AOC system that shapes French food today. It seems desperately important and esoteric, and every time the authors brought it up, I expected talk about the American Congress Woman instead of food.
pickThis is such a fascinating book. It's a must-read for fans of culinary history, history of France, wartime history, viticulture and more. Like other reviewers mentioned, you may not be able to sit and devour this in one sitting, but it's not difficult to read. It's just, you know... not fiction... so it's engaging in a different way.

This is the sort of book that will get you up out of your chair to root around in the refrigerator for something really tasty to eat.
Makin' me hungry!
