    Praise

    “Fans of Walker’s “Bruno, Chief of Police” mysteries know that these books are equal parts celebration of the food and culture of the Périgord region of France and cleverly constructed crime fiction. Now writing with his wife, Watson, Walker brings together more than 90 recipes for some of the favorite dishes of Bruno and his friends. . . . From walnut and green olive tapenade to Périgord quiche to “A Most Indulgent Chocolate Cake,” every recipe includes an entertaining introductory note and is written in an easily accessible style. The gorgeous color photographs not only splendidly illustrate the dishes but also help immerse readers in the southwestern corner of France. . . . . Written with a generous measure of culinary joie de vivre and a keen appreciation for the people and culture of Périgord, this captivating cookbook will charm fans of Walker’s long-running series as well as any cook wishing to explore the bountiful riches of French country cooking.” —John Charles, Library Journal
