A Conversation with the Dryanskys
“GYD is the greatest gourmand in American letters today, the most gourmet of
inquisitive journalists, the most French of foreign correspondents in Paris. When
he recounts his exciting adventures in the Hexagon, we’re amused as much as we
salivate. Delicious and savory!”
—Gilles Pudlowski, France’s foremost food critic,
founder of the Pudlo Guides.
“Gerry and Joanne Dryansky’s book is a lovely ramble through a lifetime of
experiences in France’s high spots and some low ones too. Reading it brings as
many delights as a marvelous long meal.”
—Patricia Wells
There’s nobody I know, in Paris or in New York, who understands French food the
way Gerry does. And surely nobody who writes about it as well as he does.”
