Glorious French Food – A fresh approach to the classics (James Peterson)

Product Info

The author is an American who has travelled the world and discovered that his lifelong passion was cooking and in France. He has been a restauranteur. He taught at prestigious cooking schools and has written several critically acclaimed cookbooks. As one source notes about this book: “With a refreshing, broadminded approach that embraces different French cooking styles-from fine dining to bistro-style cooking, from hearty regional fare to nouvelle cuisine-Peterson uses fifty "foundation" French dishes as the springboard to preparing a variety of related dishes. Peterson reveals the underlying principles and connections in French cooking that liberate readers to devise and prepare new dishes on their own.”   In addition to recipes and variations, the book has loads of tips and comments. My copy of Glorious sits right next to Julia Child’s books. It’s that important. The book on offer is a 2002 US edition with dust cover, both in excellent condition. (previously owned)
