Description:

During the heady glory days of haute cuisine in the 1970s, gourmands from around the world dined at fine restaurants in Paris, Lyons, Roanne, and other parts of France. Yet another illustrious culinary destination was located in a renovated town hall in a village outside of Lausanne, Switzerland, where Frédy Girardet was creating sublime French cuisine to international acclaim, earning three Michelin stars. Chef Girardet entered semiretirement in 1996, and now, 20 years after the publication of his landmark first cookbook, the eagerly anticipated second book has arrived. Over 100 classic recipes are presented, including signature dishes with such classic Girardet ingredients as foie gras, truffles, and citrus. Devoted followers will rejoice, while a new generation of cooks will be introduced to the passionate sensibilities of a culinary genius.

* The first English-language version of this much-anticipated cookbook from one of the grand patriarchs of French cuisine.

* The original French edition was the best-selling chef cookbook at New York City's Kitchen Arts & Letters in 2000, and sold over 25,000 copies worldwide.

Arguably the greatest living chef, Frédy Girardet has inspired chefs around the world through his legendary restaurant and its cuisine. He is the Pope of the Grande Cuisine--a culinary mastermind with no equal. Girardet has had an unparalleled impact on the culinary landscape. Through this translation, Americans can discover the genius that is Frédy Girardet. --Charlie Trotter
