Dinner & A Book - La Bonne Table
Episode #2303 - La Bonne Table
This week we explore the delights of La Bonne Table by Ludwig Bemelmans. You might know him as the author of the whimsical Madeline picture books for children, but he also wrote prolifically for adults – books and magazine articles – and was an accomplished cartoonist and artist. La Bonne Table collects his remarkable experiences working in restaurants in grand hotels. Guest host April Lidinsky welcomes Lisa Barnett de Froberville, Managing Editor of Edible Michiana magazine for a gastronomic gallop through the mid-twentieth century.
