Gault&Millau in Périgueux for the Festival du Livre Gourmand

Gault&Millau in Périgueux for the Festival du Livre Gourmand

Mathilde Bourge | 11/13/23, 3:56 PM

From November 17 to 19, 2023, Périgueux hosts the new edition of the Festival du Livre Gourmand. On the program: numerous guest authors, conferences, workshops and two literary prizes... and the Gault&Millau.

If you're a fan of food and literature, here's a date to mark in your diary. From Friday, November 17 to Sunday, November 19, 2023, the Festival du Livre Gourmand returns to Périgueux, promising a mouth-watering program. This year, the event takes place under the benevolent eye of Olivier Roellinger, honorary president of the festival for this new edition.

"I'm honored and delighted to preside over this 2023 festival dedicated to gourmet books in Périgueux. I'd like us to discuss gourmandise, or rather eating well, or even 'good'. Imagine a world where this essential pleasure is not reserved for the few, but accessible to all: to the most modest, to all children and to all the elderly", comments Olivier Roellinger.

These different themes will be addressed during the three days of festivities, with a program of conferences, demonstrations, tastings and workshops. The Festival du Livre Gourmand will also be an opportunity to meet some 80 authors who have come specially to Périgueux, including Luana Belmondo, pastry chef Christophe Adam, chef Alessandra Montagne and Jean-François Mallet, author of the best-selling Simplissime books.

The festival will also be an opportunity to pick up the Guide France 2023 and the 2023 edition of Livre 109, a directory of the "new blood" in gastronomy at the low price of 5 euros. You can also leaf through and buy Gault&Millau, le Magazine, available from newsstands from November 9.

Two literary prizes awarded

The Festival du Livre Gourmand is also the occasion to award two literary prizes, starting with the Prix La Mazille, which rewards a monograph or collective work on cooking, culinary practices, food, food products or the fact of cooking.food, food products or eating in general, published in the year preceding the festival. The book must be "remarkable for its originality of content and/or graphic approach". The second is the Prix Dame Tartine, awarded to a book written for young people. This new edition of the festival, which was first held in 1990, promises to be rich in delicacies and learning!
