Bøger af John Baxter

A preeminent writer on Paris, John Baxter brilliantly brings to life one of the most dramatic and fascinating periods in the city's history. From 1914 through 1918 the terrifying sounds of World War I could be heard from inside the French capital.

Includes recipes of France such as Ortolans, Bouillabaisse, 100 Year-Old Cognac, and Confiture Vieux Garcon. This book culminates in author's participation in a traditional ox roast, in which an enormous whole ox is cooked on a spit over coals.

For more than a century, Americans and Britons have been arriving hopefully in Paris. All of these people arrived because they were re-making their lives. We'll Always Have Paris is a personal view of Paris as it appeared to the emotionally and intellectually hungry of the world.

Paris, by custom and design, is a pedestrian's city - each block a revelation, every neighbourhood a new feast for the senses, a place rich with history and romance at every turn. The Most Beautiful Walk in the World is your guide par excellence to the true, off-the-beaten-track heart of the City of Lights.
