Description
"Camembert: delectably fragrant, creamy centered, neatly boxed is the most popular and famous French cheese. In this witty and entertaining book, Pierre Boisard investigates the history of Camembert and its legend. He considers the transformation of France's cheese making industry and along the way gives a highly selective yet richly detailed history of France, from the Revolution to the European Union. Camembert: A National Myth waives together culinary and social history in a fascinating tale about the changing nature of food, with implications for every modern consumer."--BOOK JACKET.
