Balzac's Omelette: A Delicious Tour of French Food and Culture with Honore Balzac
Anka Muhlstein
Just as the art of the table became a centrepiece of French mores, Balzac used it as a connecting thread in his novels, showing how food can evoke character, atmosphere, class, and social climbing. This title describes the ways food and the art of the table feature in Honore de Balzac's writings.
