The book focuses on the cuisine of South West France and mixes recipes with insights into the region, its people and its culture. My copy has only just arrived, but I am already hungry. Because of the nature of this book we are going to make this next meeting a potluck get together at my house in Oxford. The idea is to bring along a dish from the book (more or less) to fuel our chat. I hope it sounds good - I'm planning to put together one of the soup recipes to warm up the evening. When you know if you can make it, please send me an email and I'll send out directions to my house. Because my house is rather small I need to keep track of who will be there on the night and this seems like the best way. I look forward to seeing you all soon, Liz
