Author Description

The cuisine of France is justifiably acclaimed to be the best in the world. This superbly illustrated book takes us to the heart of this great cuisine--to the provinces where the recipes were originally created. There are over 250 authentic recipes from the different regions of France, including traditional favourites and delicious local specialties little-known outside their place of origin. The recipes have been researched and written by the authoritative French cookery writer Elisabeth Scotto. An extensive introduction includes information on French cheeses and other special ingredients, wines and cooking equipment. A detailed glossary of French cooking terms is also provided.
