Why read it?
1 author picked Between Meals as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Some books are worth reading just because the writing is so wonderful. But combine that with the subject matter - dining out in Paris - and you are in for a treat. Liebling, a longtime staff writer for the New Yorker, shares with us the sublime art of enjoying a good meal.
