Monsieur, der Hummer und ich

How does it actually feel to cook for Germany's most prominent restaurant critics and fail spectacularly in the process? Does Paul Bocuse tell good jokes? How does potato salad taste from the deep fryer? And why can't the Germans barbecue? This book tells of desperate cooks, unpredictable food, waiters with water wings, a dog eating chocolates, the fish man, the lobster whisperer, Elvis Presley, the sensual joys of sprout breeding and the triumphal march of the all-German bratwurst palm, funny, entertaining and stimulating. And because reading it whets your appetite, there is a recipe for every story.
