review:
'La Passion de Dodin-Bouffant' is an adaptation of the French novel from 1924 by Marcel Rouff. The adaptation and art is by Mathieu Burniat.
Dodin-Bouffant likes to eat good food. When his cook Eugenie suddenly dies, he is left without someone to cook for him. Throughout a series of funny auditions,he finally meets a woman named Adele. She is a bit rough around the edges, but with Dodin-Boufffant's guidance, she hones her skills. When Dodin-Bouffant invites royalty to dinner though, he is in danger of having Adele hired away from him.
I've not read the original novel, but I really enjoyed this adaptation. There are notes about the original novel included, and I really liked this comedic story that revolved around food and love. The art is charming and fits well. I really liked the album of full page drawings at the end that have the feel of 19th century cartoons.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Europe Comics and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
