Afternoon Reading - The Foods of Love and Hate - Specialite du Perigord

Stories with a gastronomic flavour. EJ Patience's tale is about Madame Boisseau, who danced with Les Folies Bergere in her youth. These days she pickles and bakes with her harvest of walnuts and provides gossip for the villagers. Opinions differ as to the cause of her still-youthful looks. Are they due to her well-water, her walnut-flavoured Pinot, or the steady stream of lovers who have climbed the path up the hill to her house over the years? Read by Clare Higgins.
