With Gran Libro de Cocina: Bistrós, brasseries y restaurantes tradicionales, Alain Ducasse celebrates the richness of French cuisine through more than 400 iconic recipes revisited with modernity. A tribute to bistros, brasseries, and traditional tables, true symbols of a culinary art of living blending authenticity, tradition, and innovation.
The Bistros, brasseries, and traditional restaurants are much more than places of dining: they embody an essential part of our culinary heritage and of our gastronomic culture.
In this Great Cookbook, , Alain Ducasse pays tribute to them by dedicating an entire volume of his encyclopedia to this heartfelt, generous, and convivial cuisine.
Across 90 iconic products and more than 400 delicious recipes, the author revisits the classics of the French gastronomy — of the veal blanquette to the Toulouse cassoulet, of the hunter's rabbit to the Parisian sandwich — while infusing it with a contemporary touch.
Each recipe, carefully presented, illustrates the meeting between tradition and modernity, in the footsteps of the great chef Alain Chapel, which advocated for balance between culinary heritage and contemporary creation.
The visuals and staging of the book reflect a renewed aesthetic concern, where respect for the product takes precedence over unnecessary sophistication.
Originally from Castelsarrasin, in the Landes, Alain Ducasse keeps from his childhood the taste for a job well done and for quality of products. His demand, acquired over the course of more than 25 years of experience, is expressed here in a monumental work, reflecting his/her Commitment to transmission and his passion for fundamental values of French cuisine.
