Bruno LoubetAnother one by Stephanie Alexander called Cooking and Travelling in South-West France.

I really like the way she writes – very feminine!

I like that he has some chapters where he talks about the gardening, how to grow your food, how to pick, to store, to cook and to eat. You start from the beginning and go up to the end, and I’m sure a lot of people changed their way of thinking... (Source)
