French Cuisine: A Journey for Food Lovers

A true guide to French cuisine, this book will allow you to prepare and enjoy the most famous dishes of the country that has made food one of life's greatest pleasures. To achieve this, a team of specialists made an extensive tour to all corners of the country and during the course they tried the specialties, talked with the cooks, obtained the recipes, wrote down their secrets and detailed the processes. The journey ranged from the typical workers' cafes (bouchons) of Lyon, the wonderful kitchens of Provence and the refined Parisian pastry shops, to the fishmongers of Marseille and its famous bouillabaisse, the farms of Périgord - where they prepare the most celebrated and traditional foie grass -, the cellars of Bordeaux and the cheese factories of Normandy. Each recipe was photographed during its preparation. The book also includes beautiful images of the regions, instructions on the choice of ingredients and products, as well as sections dedicated to cheeses, wines, charcuterie, breads and cakes, fish and seafood.
