Secrets from the la Varenne Kitchen: 50 Essential Recipes Every Cook Needs to Know by Anne Willan

In 1975, Anne Willan, a culinary icon who, along with Julia Child, Jacque Pepin, and James Beard, launched the modern culinary industry, founded Ecole de Cuisine La Varenne in Paris and educated some of today's most notable chefs – among them Steve Raichlen, Gale Gand, Virgina Willis, Martha Holmberg, and Alexis Guarnaschelli. Upon enrolling at La Varenne, all students received a helpful and easy reference tool: 'La Varenne Basic Recipes'. The booklet was based on chef Albert Jorant's belief that "there are only fifty basic recipes in the culinary repertoire, and all other dishes can be made from them." Edited by Anne Willan, 'La Varenne Basic Recipes' was a treasure-trove of essential recipes for any aspiring chef. Now, for the first time, the 50 essential recipes from the La Varenne curriculum are available to chefs, culinary students, and passionate cooking enthusiasts in 'Secrets from The La Varenne Kitchen'. Not a cookbook of finished dishes, this is a collection of the sauces, creams, pastries, and other elements that make up a dish. Above all it is a working tool, to fashion professional excellence. It is a practical book for practical cooks – both professional and home enthusiasts.
James Beard award-winning author Anne Willan is one of the world's leading authorities on cooking and one of only a handful of people to have won the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from the IACP (1999). She is the founder of the French cooking school La Varenne and is the director of the branches in Burgundy, France and at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia, and in 2000 she was named Cooking Teacher of the Year by Bon Appetit magazine. Willan's food writing has appeared in countless publications such as the Washington Post, and she is the author of cookbooks including French Regional Cooking, Chateau Cuisine, the classic La Varenne Pratique, the 17-volume Look and Cook series, and most recently, The Good Cook.
