Rotis

"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."

Stephane Reynaud who is chef at restaurant Villa9trois in Paris and whose previous cookbook Pork and Sons won the Grand Prix de la Gastronomie Francaise, writes beautiful recipes that stretch from simple home cooking to fanciful dishes. 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.
