PODCAST – Périgueux Gourmet Book Festival: “Eating in France remains a pleasure”
Gui Gedda, nicknamed the Pope of Provençal cuisine or the Pagnol of French gastronomy, has established himself over the decades as a prolific author, accomplishing a remarkable work of codifying traditional Provençal cuisine through around fifteen works where Stories and tasty recipes intertwine.
This new work, rich in nearly 500 preparations and a multitude of anecdotes, is no exception to the rule. A life rubbed with garlic reveals the secrets of bouillabaisse, trotters and packets, pistou soup, ratatouille or petit farcis, while highlighting the talents of a storyteller whose humor, verve and sensitivity sparkle on every page.
