As much a book of inspiration as a collection of over 250 uncommonly delicious recipes, French Farmhouse Cookbookcaptures the rustic and richly flavored farmhouse cooking that is the basis of French cuisine and a perennial inspiration of French chefs. The author visited and lived among farmers, cheesemakers, ranchers, and vintners from the Pyrennees to Alsace-Lorraine, from Normandy to Provence. The result is a stunning portrait in recipes, lively essays, and a wealth of astucesotips passed down through generations of cooks. Here are dishes prepared by lifelong cooks—not chefs—intended to satisfy, not impress.
