Jean Imbert: My French Recipes

The first cookbook from rising French chef Jean Imbert, whose cooking and charm have won the hearts of celebrities the world over.

French chef Jean Imbert reveals more than fifty of his favorite home recipes, which he prepares for his family, friends, and the world’s most famous celebrities, including musicians Pharrell, Beyoncé, and Jay-Z; actors Robert De Niro and Marion Cotillard; Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt; and chef Thomas Keller.

The dynamic Imbert’s passion began at an early age, and he maintains the humble, intimate connection with cooking that his beloved grandmother and parents instilled in him from childhood. Discover his very personal cooking style, always respectful of seasonal ingredients and simultaneously simple but with a creative twist: macaroni with chanterelle mushrooms and apricots; cod confit with citrus, avocado, and banana; scallops with cauliflower and green apple; roasted chicken; stuffed clams; and his epic tarte tatin.

With the support of his friend Jamie Oliver, who wrote the foreword, Jean Imbert shares his lifelong passion for serving up these recipes from the heart.
