Dirt: Adventures in Lyon as a Chef in Training, Father, and Sleuth Looking for the Secret of French Cooking

byBill Buford

Dirt is Bill Buford's biographical portrait of adventures in Lyon as a Chef in Training, Father, and Sleuth Looking for the Secret of French Cooking. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the connected fields of biography & autobiography and cooking. Rather than isolating its subject, the book shows how private experience and public systems continually influenced one another. Readers finish with a sharper understanding of the subject and why its consequences still deserve attention.
