Emma has a dream, she wants to become a Guide Michelin inspector. With some perseverance, she finally succeeds and her dream becomes true. She will travel around France for four years, always on the road, always testing food, noting but also discovering the strict rules of the Guide Michelin that plays ith stars and can destroy a restaurateur and ignore fantastic restaurants that don’t quite enter the rating system. An interesting insight into the mechanism of this star system and a cute story with manga-like illustrations.
“We’re just not a good match. It’s like a bad wine pairing. Even if a wine and an entrée are great on their own, they can still clash. It’s not the wine’s fault, nor the entrée’s. But the result’s still bad. You can try to fix it with spices or a dash of sauce, but it’s not going to work. We’re chalk and cheese…”
