Gut Reaction: A Journalist Discovers His Passion for News, Great Music and Fine Food
Author(s): Stephen Downes
In this funny and revealing memoir of travel, food, music and love, well-known food critic Stephen Downes rails against his starched Methodist upbringing to indulge in the romance of newspaper journalism. From London's famous Fleet Street, he falls in love with the adrenalin of chasing a story, the sound of typewriters and the smell of ink on newsprint. Moving to Europe in his early twenties, Stephen finds love of another kind when he meets his Parisian wife-to-be and discovers the authentic cuisine of the gastronomical hub that is France.
