Great French Chefs and Their Recipes

Mousseline of red peppers with herbs and deep-fried prawns, classic French fries with sea salt, peaches in caramelized pastry, and tangerine souffle ... Cooking in the hands of these French masters is truly an art form, a creative process that is as much about the personality of the chef, his passions, and regional influences, as his ingredients. The great French chefs here range from the exponent of traditional French home cooking to the avant-garde master, from the media celebrity to the Michelin-starred genius. Together they bring us the very best of fine French cooking, and indeed, a taste of France. Book jacket.
