Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Long before the concept of eating seasonally and locally gained traction in the Americas, the French had been practicing it for centuries. While Parisian haute cuisine has long been celebrated globally, the diverse regional cooking styles of France continue to captivate those who experience them. This culinary journey takes you from Brittany's windswept coastline, where lamb reflects the salty fields, through Gascony's hearty dishes like cassoulet and Armagnac, to the fish stews of Marseilles and the Mediterranean. Burgundy offers its renowned wines and local Dijon mustard, perfect for rabbit dishes. You'll discover the cultural and gastronomic intersections in Alsace, where German influences shape traditional menus, and in sunny Provence, where tomatoes, garlic, and olives connect its cuisine to Italy. The Basque country showcases a blend of Spanish and Moorish flavors. This collection features over 140 recipes, ranging from baked farm-fresh eggs to seasonal vegetable preparations, luxurious chocolate creams, and rustic fruit tarts. While terroir is essential, French cooking is ultimately about comfort and connection. A glossary and sections on stocks and sauces help you stock your pantry with authentic ingredients, bringing this admired cuisine to your table.
