Writer Paris Connolly has been living in France for a decade. Here are 40 short stories about everyday food events like cheap and cheerful picnics, dinners at friends' houses, and village celebrations. The stories are not about which cheese is the best, how to eat snails, or how to select the best baguette. Rather, they're funny stories about an Australian author (who spent her childhood shopping for food in fluorescent-lit supermarkets) and her observations about the all the facets that go into French dining. Paris has spent a lot of time in the French Alps in the Savoie region, so there are a lot of stories about mountain living as well as stories from big cities like Paris. These anecdotes are the author's own personal experiences. She's not saying ALL French people eat like this, or do this, or do that. The stories (diary entries if you will) are light, fun, playful observations, and written by someone who loves and respects France.
