Title: Burgundy Stars: A Year in the Life of a Great French Restaurant by William Echikson ISBN: 0-316-19993-1 Publisher: Little Brown & Co Pub. Date: 01 June, 1995 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $24.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.33 (3 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: Fascinating topic, fair writing, tragic ending
Comment: If you like French haute cuisine, this book will give you a lot of insights into how it's created -- not how it's cooked, but the amazing amount of work by a large group of people to produce and serve it. The writing is serviceable but a bit simplistic.
I just heard that Mr. Loiseau was found dead yesterday, probably a suicide in the face of a downgrade in his Gault-Millau rating and a possible downgrade by Michelin. What a tragedy.
Rating: 5
Summary: A 'must' for fans of the Michelin food guides
Comment: I reread this book every few years, just for the pleasure of it, and recommend it to anyone with an interest in France, their wine, cheese, or food.
Rating: 4
Summary: a real page-turner for foodies
Comment: Echikson does a great job profiling all the players-with Loiseau as his "mad bird" at the center-and the teamwork and total devotion it took to acquire all the "right stuff" to earn three stars. It's an engrossing behind-the-scenes story for any serious or not-so-serious gourmand. Also lovely photographs enhance the text.
