Journalist David McAninch had been a card-carrying Francophile all his life, when he was sent to Gascony, an ancient region in Southwest France, to research a story on duck. Falling in love with the food and the people, David decided to move his family to Gascony and what resulted is this delicious memoir about cooking, eating, and the art of living a full and happy life. McAninch is the features editor at Chicago Magazine and was an editor at Saveur for nine years. His work has appeared in the New York Times, Newsday, and Departures.
