Rapidly acquiring a Michelin star after opening in London in the late 1990s, Pascal's award-winning Club Gascon fast became the place to go to experience some of the best French food in the country--the food of his native South West of France, the very heart of the country's cuisine. More than 100 traditional recipes, some with modern twists and inflections, sit within a sumptuously designed and beautifully photographed book. Unashamedly sensuous food photography is accompanied by evocative images of Gascony, its food, and its people, from fellow Frenchman Jean Cazals. A food lover's delight and a cook's heaven, this is a worthy testament to the talents of both the author and his native land of Gascony.

Pascal Aussignac cooks in and oversees five award-winning restaurants in London, all of them celebrating the food of Gascony. Club Gascon was awarded a Michelin Star in 2002 and in 2007 was awarded the ultimate peer group accolade of Restaurant of the Year by Caterer Magazine.
