Le Gavroche Cookbook - Hardcover

Le Gavroche. The creation of two brothers, Albert and Michel Roux and the star of French cuisine in this country for more than thirty years. Now run by Michel Roux Jr., the menu is lighter and reflects modern trends in French cuisine with the intermix of Asian and Mediterranean flavours and ingredients. Arranged season by season, Roux presents a comprehensive collection of recipes, utilising ingredients at their freshest in the particular season discussed. From familiar truffles, frog legs, cheeses and ceps to the more unusual gull's eggs, smoke eel and roast mallard. The interplay of international ingredients is reflected in recipes such as tagine of red mullet, cep pizza and sauerkraut of seafood. More suitable for confident chefs there are also easier recipes for those willing to have a go. For a taste of food from one of the world's greatest restaurants, look no further and enjoy in your own home with Michel Roux's help. - Lucy Watson
