Publisher's Synopsis
During les trente glorieuses - a 30-year boom period in France between the end of World War II and the 1974 oil crisis - Paris was the world capital of gastronomic genius and innovation. 'The Gourmands' Way' explores the lives and writings of six Americans who chronicled the food and wine of 'the glorious thirty,' paying particular attention to their individual struggles as writers, to their life circumstances, and, ultimately, to their particular genius at sharing awareness of French food with mainstream American readers.
