La Passion de Dodin-Bouffant #[nn]

A sumptuous feast for the eyes before you've even opened the cover — this Dargaud album presents a rotund, elegantly dressed gastronome seated at table, knife in hand, savoring a dish as a languid curl of steam rises before him. The vivid magenta cover, adorned with ornate golden vignettes of figures, vines, and a plump pig, signals a story steeped in the pleasures of food, company, and indulgence. Published in 2014, La Passion de Dodin-Bouffant promises a richly illustrated love letter to the art of eating well.
