Long Look Back

Richard H. Rogers is a third-generation francophone who writes lovingly about France, its people, culture, way of life, and, most importantly, its incredible food. In A Long Look Back, readers will find an exciting portrayal of the author's life in 1960s urban and provincial France. This perspective is often combined with beautiful meals and delicious wines.

The author's passion and deep love for France is made undeniably clear. Readers will be signing on to an entertaining, often humorous, sentimental journey set first in the rugged Emerald Coast of Brittany, then in Paris, and concluding with a collection of unique travel and food experiences as the author meanders down from Lyon to the Côte d'Azur. A separate section is devoted to some delicious traditional French recipes, "Cuisine grand-mère, " because how can one talk or write about France without fully appreciating and immersing oneself in its food?

A Long Look Back is an undeniably excellent, warm-hearted, tender journey into a France of yesteryear.
