Through a carefully curated collection of over 50 tried-and-tested recipes, an array of articles, travelogues and guides – the book takes the reader on a unique tour of France. Starting in Jan Hendrik’s adopted home town of Nice, we journey to the ancient port city of Marseille, then chronicle the culinary riches of Toulouse and France’s Southwest, eventually ending up in Paris, where we discover the French Capital in a whole new light, complete with a gastronomic shopping guide and an ode to Jan Hendrik’s grandmother Maria’s “fancier”, French-inspired dishes.
