Synopsis

Combining the concepts of classical French cooking introduced and explained in Di's sensational best-selling title The French Kitchen (first published in 1983); teachings from her essential instructive manual The Clever Cook (drawn from columns that appeared in the The Australian and were first published as a single volume in 1994); and a breathtaking array of inspiring and informative travel writing, taken from Postcards From Kitchens Abroad, this 752-page volume is a testament to Di Holuigue's impressive culinary career. Featuring the complete The French Kitchen - with a number of new sections on regional French cooking, plus revised and updated material-the book contains instructive illustrations and witty writing packed with tips and technical advice.
