A Chef’s Tale – A Memoir of Food, France and America (Pierre Franey)

Product Info

I find it sad that few other than history of food lovers remember Franey. In his day, he was one of the most influential and beloved of America’s culinary figures. He was close friends with Beard and Claiborne. Jacques Pepin regards him as a mentor and an inspiration. A Chef’s Tale moves from his childhood in Burgundy to Paris to New York. Per Barnes and Noble, “With style, charm, and affection for his native France and adopted America, Franey takes us into his life in the world of food, interweaving his story with irresistible recipes and, here and there, impulsively giving away a chef's secrets.” This book is well worth the read for any food lover, especially for one who wants to look back in time to when French cooking was alone at the top.
