Synopsis

"From Stephane Reynaud, the bestselling French author of Ripailles, comes this book about roasts. Pot-roasted or oven-roasted, Rotis turns up the heat on cooking a butcher shop window's worth of meat. There's a roast for every day - Monday's beef, Tuesday's veal, Wednesday's poultry, Thursday's pork, Friday's - you guessed it - fish, Saturday's lamb and Sunday, well, that's leftover night. Stephane also includes a clever and diverse selection of vegetable dishes - perfect accompaniments to the main event."

Reynaud comes from a family of butchers and pig farmers in the Ardeche region of France. He lives in Paris with his wife and three children.

Review

"The recipes ... remind you of just how simple, and basic, the art of roasting really is. And on a cold, rainy, windy day, there is little more comforting than the most basic instruction of all: 'Heat the oven.'"
—The Los Angeles Times

Praise for Stéphane Reynaud
“Offers recipes for every course and appetite... The son of a butcher, Reynaud grew up eating all manner of meat, innards and scraps, a kind of ratatouille of the flesh... well suited to adherents of the nose-to-tail, no-waste philosophy.”
—Christine Muhlke, The New York Times Magazine

"With Reynaud’s books, I always feel as if I can understand just where it is that French food comes from. The dishes tend toward hearty, approachable fare from the French countryside, but the recipes can guide a home cook to new comfort with a sometimes intimidating cuisine.”
—Don and Samantha Lindgren, owners of Rabelais in Portland, Maine, in Bon Appetit

“It might be presumptuous to say that anything could be a one-stop resource on rustic French cooking, but Reynaud’s door-stopper cookbook comes pretty close.”
—Booklist

“Always with excitement do I open a cookbook by Stéphane Reynaud.... This is the type of book to put next to your night table and read a few pages before going to sleep and to dream of marvelous feasts.”
—Colette Rossant, Super Chef
