Alexandre Dumas, best known for such classic novels as The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo and Man in the Iron Mask, wanted to be remembered for a far more esoteric book. Food was his real passion in life and his Grand Dictionnaire de Cuisine was the one book the great novelist cared about. Mark Hilton reads extracts from Alan and Jane Davidson's translation, Dumas On Food.
