Bistros and Brasseries: Recipes and Reflections on Classic Café Cooking
Bistro cuisine takes its inspiration from the classic repertoire of every self-respecting French home cook, from simple soups and salads to apéritifs and fromages. Whether you're looking for a bit of French flair or a serious bistro experience, you'll find the recipes—and your own inspiration—within Bistros and Brasseries.
Enjoy, in your own dining room, such quintessential bistro dishes as plateau fruits de mer and raclette, as well as a host of other appetizers. Fill your home with the aroma of the great French stews, including blanquette de veau, carbonnades de flamande, and boeuf bourguignon. Transform fresh cream, eggs, seasonal fruit, and other staples of the French larder into clafouti, tarte à la rhubarbe, merveilles, and beignets—the kitchen desserts for which bistros and brasseries are famous. Bistros and Brasseries captures the essence of the authentic French bistro experience.
