Little Treatise on Walnuts

This book is not a treatise like the others for it traces the true story of a man marked by his name. Alexandre de Lanoix delivers a unique cookbook here that doubles and reads like an autobiographical narrative – or, if you prefer – a book where recipes rub shoulders with Montaigne, Corneille and various other national French references, who would not believe they were being cited here. This is a book that mixes smiles and gastronomy, and is to be savoured slowly from, the first line of the dedication, to the last acknowledgment.
