Alexandre Dumas

Titan of the Literature

Is there a person in the world who doesn't know the name of the amazing Alexandre Dumas-père, the father of 'The Three Musketeers' and the 'Count of Monte Cristo'? I'll need hundreds of pages to describe this Titan of the Literature who loved passionately the adventure, the women and the good life! Known for his historical novels and with no doubt one of the most popular writers in the world, very few people have read his 'Grand Dictionnaire de Cuisine", an amazing work where you can find hundreds of fantastic recipes and information about every possible food, drink and product. With you, Cher Maître, we were D'Artagnan, Monte Cristo, or Balsamo, riding along the roads of France, touring battlefields, visiting palaces and castles, enjoying the exquisite food and drinks of France—with you, we dream!
