Publisher's Synopsis
Olympic Flavors: When French Gastronomy Meets Sport is a delectable journey through France's culinary and athletic tapestry. From the grandeur of opening ceremonies, where escargot and foie gras mingle, to the Marathon of Baguettes-a race fueled by crusty bread and passion-the book celebrates the artistry of food and the thrill of competition. Cyclists pedal through Bordeaux's vineyards, sampling Bordeaux blends and crisp Sauvignon Blancs. Synchronized cheese tasting honors France's dairy artisans, while gold medal desserts-tarte tropézienne, macarons, and crème brûlée-take center stage. Each chapter invites readers to savor the fusion of flavors, traditions, and triumphs-a feast for the senses and a celebration of France's gastronomic heritage.
