Le
goût des fruits
Dominique Michel &Thierry Thorens (Actes Sud)
THE PUBLISHER'S OPINION
By means of six hundred sweet, savoury and sweet-and-sour recipes,
these books invite us to rediscover the flavour of all kinds
of fruit and give them a real part to play all through our meals
and during every season. Thierry Thorens has made use of a range
of fifty-seven different types of fruit, some well-known, others
quite rare, to invent salads, soups and starters, main courses,
hot and cold desserts, jams, preserves and drinks. In order
to give prestige to these different fruits from all over the
world, he has opted for a mixture of culinary cultures, given
a new twist to traditional recipes and invented new and original
blends of flavours. To go along with this journey to the land
of fruit Dominique Michel tells us their story (and some anecdotes),
together with their uses in cooking. Necessary for a healthy
life and an indispensable part of the pleasure of our daily
or special meals, fruit still has some surprises in store for
us.
Dominique Michel is a food historian,
and also is an enthusiast for bringing old recipes back into
use. |
