Synopsis
First, catch your frog...
May we propose some oyster and champagne soup from Brittany, accompanied by Normandy lettuce bread, followed by Loire Valley frog’s legs and roasted swan as Richard the Lionheart liked them served? Then you could round your modest meal off with a soufflé created by the original celebrity chef, Antonin Carême.
Author's Biography
Donella East having spent twenty years exploring the rural hinterlands of France while organising and trying to prevent her travel writer husband George getting into too much trouble, has collected a host of traditional, unusual, rare and sometimes outrageous - but always real - recipes from French country cooks and obliging owners of one of France’s best-kept culinary secrets, the ouvrier.

Reader Comments
Blooming marvellous book; simple recipes that even this Cumbrian male can follow. Great results!
Excellent reasonably priced home recipes that all should try ..
a great addition to the cookbook shelf..
I think this book is utterly brilliant, but I am biased and would say nice things about it as I sleep with the author!
An excellent book of recipes and interesting snippets of information as to where they have come from and the history of the dish.
