Publishers Text

Marcel Boulestin made Britain happy by introducing French cuisine adapted for the everyday table. A tireless advocate of good food, he charmed cautious British cooks into experimenting with the cuisine bourgeois and changed their eating habits forever. Writing as though he were your companion in the kitchen, Boulestin describes how quality can be achieved simply, economically and without waste, and goes on to discuss the main culinary processes and the tricks of the trade gathered from his famous restaurant in London's Covent Garden. Because he believes in the importance of seasonal food, Boulestin provides appropriate recipes for every month, in the elegant eating style of the Art Deco period. Boulestin considered cooking to be an art, not a science, and instead of exact measurements, he gives his recipes in narrative form, building up the reader's taste and instinct. There are 365 recipes, one for each day of year, including soups, sauces, hors d'oeuvres, egg dishes and savouries, fish, meat dishes, vegetables, salads and sweets.
