Thirty steps to food heaven

Food
Pickled firecracker peppers, creamy mold-ripened cheese, coral rosé with a hint of lychee and creamy oysters that smell of the seashore – all the gems you’d expect from a forage through the French appellations or a culinary caper through the Italian DOCs, right? Wrong.
