5 out of 5 stars Go - see and taste for yourself   February 24, 2007
 14 out of 16 found this review helpful

This book livened an already keen interest in France and in French Regional cooking. So many of the places are off the recognised travel guide routes - yet appear tempting from Angela Murrills' superb (delicious?) descriptions and Peter Matthews' illustrations. This has now become our travel guide "par excellence" - and the hotels, restaurants and sites of the Languedoc are , rightly, profiting from that.

Buy it, read it, and I dare you to say you won't visit!



5 out of 5 stars The real flavour of the region   September 10, 2006
 17 out of 20 found this review helpful

For anyone who knows, or who would like to know the region, this is a must. Unlke so many authors of this type of book, Ms Murrills has clearly spent many years getting to know and understand the area, and really has the feel of the untranslatable 'terroir'. She also has the talent to pass this underestanding on to her readers.
A plus - the illustrations are delightful.
