WILLAN, ANNE — French Regional Cooking

UK, Cresset Press. 1989. Paperback with dust jacket, 28.5cm. Book, synopsis >>> Dishes unique to the 12 regions of provincial France such as Normandy, Provence and Languedoc are presented in this book, which adapts the recipes so that they can be reproduced authentically outside France. The traditional specialities of each region - first courses, main dishes, desserts, breads and cakes - are described and illustrated in colour. Anne Willan is the co-founder of La Varenne, one of Paris' most authoritative cookery schools. review >> If there were six stars in the rating system, French Regional Cooking would take them all. Want to make the perfect Tarte Des Demoiselles Tatin? It's here! Coq au vin? Oui! The recipes are easy to follow and the most authentic that I have ever used. Anne Willan writes wonderfully well and her recipes will never let the user down. review 2 >>> Anne Willan's book is so charming and informative as to geography, customs, history, and of course food and how it relates to all three. She obviously has a great love of France and its culture and I would think that anyone who feels likewise would not be disappointed in purchasing this wonderful book. It has 320 clean white pp of foodie delight but the lower right corner was bumped & so has a diagonal crease (see pix) as well as about the starting 30pp, grrr!- so, low price. Good/None issued.
