What if your pets could play D&D? And what if they were... kind of jerks about it? If there are two things all geeks love, it's roleplaying games, and their pets. So why not fuse the two? It's time to grab your dice, dust off that character sheet, and let your cat or dog (or guinea pig, or iguana, or budgie) accompany you on an epic adventure! It'll be great! ... unless you have pets like these.

It offers a hundred recipes from fifty of the best authentic Paris bistros, collected in the 1950's when these establishments were at their height.
