This week it's food critic and cookbook author Patricia Wells. Originally from the US, she moved to Paris in 1980 where she worked as a restaurant critic for the International Herald Tribune and later the French weekly newspaper L’Express.
Along the way she has published 15 books and made a home in Paris and Chanteduc, in Provence.
We talk about all that and also the big sale of her culinary antiques collection via Chez Pluie.
