A Bite-Sized History of France

The book emphasizes cuisine as a lens into French culture, which is such a unique approach. I'm curious if the author had a specific reason for this focus or if it evolved during research.

I loved learning about the origins of certain dishes and how they reflect France's social changes. Were there moments that changed your view of French history or cuisine?

The narrative feels lively but also informative. I wonder what choices were made to make complex history accessible without sacrificing depth.
