Desperate to taste it one more time, he looks back over the years to see if he can pin down the elusive dish. Revealing far more than his love of great food, the narration by this larger-than-life individual alternates with the voices of those closest to him and their own experiences of the man.AUTHOR:Muriel Barbery teaches philosophy. and lives in Japan with her husband.
