About the Author
Fernand Point was just twenty-four when he opened the Restaurant de la Pyramide, just south of Lyon, France. Over the next 30 years, he built it into one of the world's greatest restaurants and trained many of today's top French chefs. When he died in 1955, at the age of fifty-eight, he was considered the master cuisinier of the twentieth century.
Review
"I believe Fernand Point is one of the last true gourmands of the 20th century. His ruminations are extraordinary and thought-provoking--he has been an inspiration for legions of chefs." -- Thomas Keller, author of The French Laundry Cookbook

Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Later printing. 239pp. Octavo. Glossy yellow paper covered boards and spine with white lettering. Spine slightly rubbed and trolled. White dust jacket is slightly toned. Fernand Point's "Ma Gastronomie" is one of the enduring classics of French cuisine, taking its place alongside works of Carême, Lucien Tendret, and Escoffier. An undisputed creative genius of French gastronomy and founder of the legendary La Pyramide restaurant, halfway between Paris and the Riviera, Fernand Point revolutionized French cuisine- purified it, simplified it- building on it's traditions and creating his own versions of the great classical dishes. "Ma Gastronomie" is the record of this achievement. This essential volume is as celebrated for Point's wise, witty, and provocative views on food as for his remarkable, inventive recipes- over 200 of them- carefully compiled from his handwritten notes and ranging from foie gras and pâtés to game, poultry, meat, vegetables, and glorious deserts, including what may be the best recipe ever for the classic French tea cake, the Madeline.
