Bill Buford directs his infinite attention from Italian cuisine to food in France. Confused by the language, but convinced that he can master the art of French cuisine, or at least get to the bottom of why it is so appreciated, he begins what will be a five-year odyssey shading the esteemed French chef Michel Richard in Washington, When Buford (quickly) realizes the stage is set for Needy France, he, this time with his wife and three-year-old twin sons, goes to Lyon, the French gastronomic capital. Studying at L’Institut Bocuse, cooking committed, Michelin star La Mre Brazier, enduring endless hours and demanding cuisine, Buford becomes an obsessed man, proving his worth, proving himself worthy of the gastronomic secrets he teaches, proving that cooking French really originated from (mon dieu!) Italian. Zero to One by Peter Thiel .
