CD-I. CD-I Run.

“Anne Willan Presents the Food of France” is being called the world’s first interactive compact disc on cooking, which means you can go directly to any section you want by using the control on an interactive compact disc player (CD-I). Willan’s disc describes the 10 regions of France and their history, geography and culinary specialties, and the (illustrated) recipes come with commentary by the cookery writer and founder of La Varenne Cooking School in Paris. Both disc and CD-I players can be rented from Blockbuster Stores.
