Summary: "Amazingly Light" is right!
Review: I found this book an absolute bore. What could have been completely captivating and interesting actually became completely predictable turning into stale blatherings on. If you read this book to get a "sense" of an Englishman in French culture, you won't find it here or in Mr. Higgins' restaurant. As for "amazingly light"...this book is amazingly light in content and interest. One could read the first and the last chapters and feel as though one had read the entire book. That might save time and therefore, be an amazingly quick read.

Summary: I can't believe no-one has reviewed this book
Review: I love the book. It's like you're actually there in that little restaurant, helping Mr. Higgins make some of his pies. I just thought it will be like one of those "French or Foe book" with a lot of generalizations, but this book is amazingly light, and very informative--talking about the restaurant business,describing the beautiful scenery, it even contains some of his recipes! It's like a journal, but it's not--anyone can understand what he's talking about. Great narrative and refreshing characters. Higgins has a great sense of humor.
