Synopsis

No one has more logically or appealingly cracked the code to French cookery than Len Deighton. Now in this redesigned and updated new edition, his culinary classic Basic French Cookery Course is looking better than ever.

Through the minefields of menus and cartes des vins he steers a reassuring course, outlining: a lexique of French/English culinary terms plus a guide to the French menu and wine list; a comprehensive and easy to follow chart of sauces; cheese, charcuterie, French butchery and ways with the vegetable; and the celebrated Deighton cookstrips that ingeniously reveal techniques and vital food facts at a glance.

The essential guide for 1992, Basic French Cookery Course solves the mysteries of French cuisine ... while retaining its mystique.

Revised from Oł est le garlic? (1965) and Basic French Cooking (1979).
