The Delicious Traditional French Cuisine: 150 Classic and Beloved Recipes: History and Expertise (in French)

The delicious traditional French cuisine brings together all that is most delicious, sincere, and generous about French gastronomy. Through 150 classic recipes, this book pays tribute to a French art of living, passed down from generation to generation, between memory and indulgence.

Each dish tells a story: that of a territory, of a family, of a Chef or of a Proust's madeleine.
We find there the great classics French tables – roast chicken, , potato gratin, , Beef Bourguignon, , pâté in crust, , dumplings, , croque-monsieur, or even the mythical Lobster Thermidor - but also more forgotten or regional recipes, which add to the charm of the French culinary heritage.

The authors Philippe Toinard and Joseph Viola, Best Craftsman of France, skillfully reinterpret these dishes of yesteryear to adapt them to our contemporary kitchens, while respecting the Tradition and local products. Each recipe is explained step by step, in clear and accessible language, so that everyone can successfully make these festive or everyday dishes.

The Photographs by Jean-François Mallet, a chef turned renowned culinary photographer, magnifies the raw beauty of ingredients and the emotion of sincere cuisine. His discerning eye accurately captures the texture of a golden gratin, the shine of a wine sauce, or the softness of a chocolate mousse.

This work is much more than a cookbook: it is a Gastronomic journey through France, from the Provence to Burgundy, from the Brittany in Sud-Ouest, between bistros of yesteryear and family tables. Each recipe is accompanied by a historical anecdote or from a Chef's advice, to understand the origins and subtleties of a living culinary tradition.

By leafing through these pages, one can appreciate how much the French cuisine remains a Universal cultural heritage, listed by UNESCO, and how it continues to evolve thanks to those who cook it with passion.

An indispensable book for all the in love with French gastronomy, the curious about traditional cuisine, or those who simply want to rediscover the authentic flavors of their childhood.
