Description: Legendary gourmand and food scientist Edouard de Pomiane turned French cuisine on its head with his deceptively breezy writings, which dared to whisk away the stodgy traditions of fine cooking. Playfulness, elegance, and economy inform his supremely approachable and witty style. Each recipe is as engaging as a well-told story, and readers will find themselves effortlessly absorbing how to harness classic techniques to their own creative ends. It's no accident that the brilliant food writer Elizabeth David, who provided an Introduction to this volume, was such an admirer: He is her French forebear. This little book -- a classic that influences the most innovative chefs working today -- is a must for every cook's library.
