The pages are peppered with dozens of photographs of the region and its people, and with playful cartoons drawn by Reynaud's close friend, José Reis de Matos. The visuals complement the chatty, engaging voice of the author as he introduces some of his accomplices: Aimé, the "prince of the art of cutting up the carcass"; Bibi, the bistro owner with a "paunch as welcoming as a soft pillow to a tired head at night"; and Pompon, the Armagnac supplier...
