The Cook and the Gardener a Year of Recipes and Writings from the French Countryside
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: W W Norton & Co Inc
- Publish date: 03/01/1999
Hesser's sublimely simple recipes -- each with accessible ingredients and clear notes and instructions -- also tell a story. They are a month-by-month record of the ingredients available to her, so that this cookbook also serves as an almanac for cooks. Special "Basics" sections at the opening of each season lay the culinary groundwork for the recipes that follow. Tips on how to buy, store, and prepare particular vegetables, fruits, and herbs are presented in margin notes to recipes.
By bringing the kitchen closer to the garden, The Cook and the Gardener gives home cooks a new understanding of the produce they have on hand, whether from the supermarket, the farmer's market, or their own gardens. At the same time, it captures the quirky customs and wily wisdom of a vanishing way of life in provincial France.
