A life-changing journey intertwining high romance, gastronomy, and an
unsurpassable joie de vivre for readers of Julie and Julia and My
Paris Kitchen.
Susan's life would never be the same after she meets Peter Buckley. A
man who was larger than life, Peter pulls Susan out of her comfort zone
to taste the fine life, literally. Together they embark on a rollicking
adventure through Michelin-starred restaurants in France to the souks of
Morocco and the waters of the Red Sea and the Caribbean. They explore
the world, and along the way discover the most desired tables (sometimes
in a tent) and the best markets, moving from Peter's adventures with
Hemingway to sampling delectable treasures in an Alpine meadow.
When they return to New York, Susan and Peter--a writer, photographer,
gourmand, as well as an inventive chef--incorporate their adventures
into their daily American life. As they explore three-star restaurants,
French farms, and Italian cheesemakers, the reader gets a taste of
famous gastronomic dishes and their chefs, in addition to learning about
mouth-watering recipes, culinary moments around the Buckley's kitchen
and table with family and friends, and many of their New York food
secrets.
If much has been written about La Haute Cuisine in the past, nothing
compares to the fresh, personal, and tantalizing tone Eating with
Peter offers. All twenty-eight recipes in the book have thoroughly been
tested, and should invite the reader to recreate the joys of Susan and
Peter's experience.
