From its grandiose mountain peaks, through ancient woodland to steep river valleys and gentle pastures, the Auvergne contains some of France's most spectacular scenery. The Auvergnat way of life continues as it has for generations, the rhythms of rural activities and the food on the abundant tables dictated by the passing of the seasons. For 20 years, Peter Graham has lived in the Auvergne, discovering its countryside, traditions, markets, kitchens and the warmth of the local people, sharing its idyllic rustic life and, most importantly, its great passion for food. In this delightful portrait of a community, Graham presents recipes for a wide range of Auvergne dishes, often prefaced with a discussion of their origins. In Mourjou, Peter Graham interweaves history, folklore and gastronomy to capture the full richness and flavour of this distinctive and varied region.
