Initially the descriptions of food in this book were lyrical and beautifully vivid. Eventually, it took away from the story and just became unnecessary fluff. The time line was poorly described and a bit confusing at times, which unfortunately just made me lose interest in the characters. The male protagonist was an incredibly selfish man, so I never bonded with him. I sympathized with Delphine simply because she could never live up to Escoffier's first love/mistress, but that was the only true emotion I felt throughout the book.
