French Wine and Food – Richard Olney
A very personal collection of French provincial dishes combined with professional guidance on the wines to serve with them. One of America's foremost chefs takes readers on a tour of the wine regions of France, presenting menus that reflect the traditional cuisine of the area, complemented by his selection of local wines. Richard Olney was one of a kind – a scholarly cook who had a tremendous influence on American cooking via his cottage on a hillside in Provence. Born in the Midwest in 1927 and drawn to France as a young man, Olney was attracted to the style, flavours, and tastes of French cooking. |
