DESCRIPTION
French.
Eighth edition.
A detailed and comprehensive study into practical gastronomy, providing information on the fundamental principles of culinary art for readers from beginner cooks to professional chefs. With commentary on the importance of finding the best quality raw materials, or fresh foods, as possible to take a dish to a higher level of taste and refinement.
With hundreds of recipes to practice skills and explore flavours.
Includes a treatise of the treatment of obesity in gourmet cooking.
Written by Ali-Bab, a French mining engineer who travelled across the world for his work. From his own interest in gastronomy, refined tastes and unlimited curiosity of foreign food, he soon made his fame as a food writer.
From the library of Jill Norman, an editor and food writer. Norman began working at Penguin in the early 1960s and, as the only woman, the care of the companys cookery books fell to her. It was her responsibility to expand the cookery titles Penguin produced, and thus began to publish works by Jane Grigson, Claudia Roden, and Alan Davidson. In particular Norman worked closely with the famed cookery writer Elizabeth David, with whom she was good friends.
