Description
Frontières: a Chef's Celebration of French Cooking is a new cookbook that explores the culinary traditions of France's borderlands. Alex Jackson delves into the history and cultural influences that have shaped the cooking of these regions, from the Riviera to the Occitan valleys of the Italian Alps, and from Alsace to Marseille and its historic links with North Africa. Through over 80 mouth-watering recipes and engaging introductions, Jackson reveals the similarities and differences between the food on either side of the borders. He examines how French cuisine has been influenced by history and geography, and how many of these dishes are part of a shared tradition of western European and Mediterranean cookery. This book is a valuable addition to any kitchen, offering a unique perspective on the food of France's borderlands and the chance to explore new recipes and flavors.
