520 _aIn Acquired Tastes , Peter Mayle, the erudite sojourner and New York Times bestselling author of A Year in Provence and Toujours Provence , sets off once more, traveling the world in search of the very best life has to offer. Whether telling us where to buy the world's best caviar or how to order a pair of thirteen-hundred-dollar custom-made shoes, advising us on the high cost of keeping a mistress in style or the pros and cons of household servants, he covers everything the well-heeled - and those vicariously so inclined - need to know to enjoy the good life. From gastronomy to matrimony, from the sartorial to the baronial, Acquired Tastes is Peter Mayle's most delicious book yet - an irreverently spiced smorgasbord of rich dishes you're sure to enjoy.
