DescriptionIn this funny and revealing memoir of travel, food, music and love, well-known food critic Stephen Downes rails against his starched Methodist upbringing to indulge in the romance of newspaper journalism. From London's famous Fleet Street, he falls in love with the adrenalin of chasing a story, the sound of typewriters and the smell of ink on newsprint. Moving to Europe in his early twenties, Stephen finds love of another kind when he meets his Parisian wife-to-be and discovers the authentic cuisine of the gastronomical hub that is France. Author descriptionStephen Downes is Australia's pre-eminent restaurant critic and food writer. Advanced Australian Fare, his history of Australian restaurants and the development of an Australian cooking style, won the top prize ('Outstanding food book of the year') at the 2003 Australian Food Media Awards. |
