France has a culinary tradition that is among the most renowned in the world - from the sun-drenched specialities of Provence, through the lusty, full-bodied dishes of Burgundy at the country's heart, to the classic seafoods found along the Atlantic coast. Each area has its own atmosphere and distinctive cooking style, based on the flavoursome provincial produce - pungent cheeses, aromatic herbs, delicate butters and creams, fresh fish and shellfish plus an array of game, poultry and meats of the highest quality. Influenced by geography and tradition, these regional dishes combined with the classic cuisine create a culinary heritage rich in variety and character. This comprehensive collection of the best-loved recipes from the home kitchens of France offers 200 dishes for every occasion and for every level of expertise, including rustic regional specialities such as Cassoulet and Moules Mariniere, Coq au Vin, extravagant dishes such as Lobster Thermidor and Pheasant Breast with Apples, as well as lighter classics such as Grilled Goat's Cheese Salad, and of course delectable sweets such as Madeleines and Tarte au Citron.
