French Provincial Cooking (Penguin Classics)

Product Details

'It is difficult to think of any home that can do without Elizabeth David's "French Provincial Cooking" ...One could cook for a lifetime on the book alone' - "Observer". Elizabeth David succeeds in inducing a desire to use each recipe as soon as it is read. Whether she is describing the preparation of a plain green salad, or the marinading of a haunch of wild boar, she writes with the same imaginative directness. Recipes like 'pot au feu' are described in all their delicious simplicity, which, it is made clear, means cooking without elaboration and has nothing to do with the higgledy piggledy 'let's hope it's all right' technique. Some excellent advice is included on the choice of the tools that would always be needed in any kitchen.

Exciting! - Gabriela - SUN CITY, CA United States
Working with this book has been one of the most exciting culinary experiences I've ever had, the recipies are given in a very "familiar" easy to follow format, although not for the beginner,it is "sprinkled" with wonderful anecdotes about her trips to France, and the experiences she had at "inns" and restaurants there, amongst other "treasures" I found what I believe to be the best recipe for "pissaladiere a la menagere" I've ever had (and I've tried a few from other books),highly recommended!
