Why are the French recognized by themselves and others the world over as the most enlightened of eaters, as the great gourmets? Why did the passion for food--gastronomy-- originate in France? In French Gastronomy, geographer and food lover Jean-Robert Pitte uncovers a novel answer. The key, it turns out, is France herself. In her climate, diversity of soils, abundant resources, and varied topography lie the roots of France's food fame.



Pitte describes gluttony as a benign sin in France; he investigates the tolerant attitudes toward overindulgence, even documenting that food is central to Catholicism. He brings this story up to the present with glimpses of the great chefs of today, the rise and fall of nouvelle cuisine, and a heartfelt diatribe against American-style fast and convenience food.
