Red Burgundy - Softcover

Burgundy is a lush region of France, steeped in history and immersed in wine. Here, in a grand château, is a famous cooking school run by a 3-star chef. His guests for the week come from various countries, and they mingle with humor and confusion, attraction and suspicion. It becomes apparent that some nefarious intrigue is brewing: the future and the past are about to collide! This is a story of progress vs. tradition, commerce vs. culture, the foreign and the familiar. Bon appétit!
