Description

A witty cultural and culinary education, Immoveable Feast is the charming, funny, and fantastic tale of how a man who was once raised on white bread—and didn’t speak a word of French—hastily ended up with the sacred duty of preparing the yearly Christmas dinner for a venerable Parisian circle of relatives.

Ernest Hemingway known as Paris “a moveable feast”—a city in a position to embrace you at any time in life. For Los Angeles–based film critic John Baxter, that moment came when he fell in love with a French woman and all of a sudden moved to Paris to marry her. As a test of his love, his skeptical in-laws charged him with cooking the next Christmas banquet—for eighteen people in their ancestral country home. Baxter’s memoir of his yearlong quest takes readers along his misadventures and delicious triumphs as he visits the farthest corners of France on the lookout for the country’s best recipes and ingredients. Impossible to resist and fascinating, Immoveable Feast is a warmhearted tale of good food, romance, circle of relatives, and the Christmas spirit, Parisian style.
