Review "The Bordeaux Kitchen cookbook ranges throughout France, far wider than its title implies. The book includes recipes but also travels throughout France, discussing the principles and techniques of cookery that lie behind the gastronomy of the various regions. This is traditional food with a modern approach that includes new ingredients such as coconut and cassava flours. I much enjoyed the generous page layouts and many illustrations that invite the reader to explore." -Anne Willan, James Beard Award-Winning author and founder of the École de Cuisine La Varenne"This beautiful, richly illustrated book is Julia Child infused with a low-carb sensibility. For anyone who loves French cooking, especially those creamy sauces and succulent cuts of meat, this book is an essential addition to your kitchen. And unlike Child's, the recipes are simple, uncomplicated-easy enough for any home cook pressed for time. The Bordeaux Kitchen combines a return to history with a modern sensibility. Plus, the science now clearly tells us that these foods are good for health: so you can have your leg of lamb and eat it, too."-- Nina Teicholz, New York Times bestselling author of The Big Fat Surprise"One of the best French Cooking books of all time" - BookAuthority About the Author Tania Teschke is a writer and photographer with a passion for French cuisine and wine.
