Bistro Cooking by Patricia Wells

Bistro Cooking by Patricia Wells

200 recipes inspired by the small family restaurants of France celebrate generous, full-flavoured cooking. Bistro is robust soups and rustic salads, wine-scented stews, bubbling gratins and desserts from grandmother's kitchen. It is earthy, not fussy; easy, not painstaking. And Bistro Cooking presents no-nonsense, inexpensive, soul-satisfying cuisine inspired by the neighborhood restaurants of France. For all occasions, Patricia Wells' "Bistro Cooking" provides the kind of uncomplicated good food that cooks everywhere enjoy. From Leek, Potato and Bacon Soup to Madame Francoise Potel's Apple Tart, each recipe has been prepared, tested and adapted by an acclaimed French food authority. Bistro Cooking captures the true flavour of the French palette. Full of warmth and joie de vivre, it is this cuisine that makes bistro a way of life.
