A witty cultural and culinary education, Immoveable Feast is the
charming, funny, and improbable tale of how a man who was raised on
white bread--and didn't speak a word of French--unexpectedly ended
up with the sacred duty of preparing the annual Christmas dinner
for a venerable Parisian family.
Ernest Hemingway called Paris "a moveable feast"--a city ready
to embrace you at any time in life. For Los Angeles-based film
critic John Baxter, that moment came when he fell in love with a
French woman and impulsively moved to Paris to marry her. As a test
of his love, his skeptical in-laws charged him with cooking the
next Christmas banquet--for eighteen people in their ancestral
country home. Baxter's memoir of his yearlong quest takes readers
along his misadventures and delicious triumphs as he visits the
farthest corners of France in search of the country's best recipes
and ingredients. Irresistible and fascinating, Immoveable Feast is
a warmhearted tale of good food, romance, family, and the Christmas
spirit, Parisian style.
