Dirt: Adventures in Lyon as a Chef in Training, Father, and Sleuth Looking for the Secret of French Cooking
by
by
In his new memoir, foodie, food writer, and former New Yorker fiction editor Buford shares another first-hand account of his time in the kitchen. In a quest to deepen his culinary training, Buford and his wife, wine expert Jessica Green, move to France with their twin three-year-old boys. They intended to stay for six months so Buford could cook, but after settling in Lyon they extended their visit—and stayed for five years. A lush, detailed, and vividly drawn account of esteemed French kitchens, and the culture that makes their grand food possible.
Audiophile alert: I LOVED the audio version Buford narrates himself. He does an excellent job reading his own work.

It's the audiobook I'm about to begin! Thanks for your review.
I so disagree with your assessment of the audio version. His French is terrible! I speak French and often could not understand what he was saying because his pronunciation is so poor. I’d have enjoyed the book much more if someone who could pronounce the words had read the audio version.
