The Food of France by Waverley Root https://amzn.to/2PLMgaP 3. Cooking in Ten Minutes by by Edouard De Pomiane https://amzn.to/2NQd9sx 4. la cuisiniere provencale by Jean-Baptiste Reboul https://amzn.to/2CWLRzF 5. Two Towns in Provence by M. F. K. Fisher https://amzn.to/2NShJpZ About the book 1. Discover the food and philosophy of the people of the South West of France. From a simple omelette with truffle shavings to a terrine of foie gras. Jean and Paul Strang have lived in France for over thirty years and know the warmth of the people and the simple honesty of their food. 2. Traveling through the provinces, cities, and remote country towns that make up France, Waverley Root discovers not only the Calvados and Camembert cheese of Normandy, the haute cuisine of Paris, and the hearty bouillabaisse of Marseilles, but also the local histories, customs, and geographies that shape the French national character. 3. Uncomplicated and delicious, the 300 recipes assembled here can all be prepared in ten minutes - and in a frying pan or saucepan rather than a microwave. Ultra-rapid soups, instantaneous sauces, split-second egg dishes and the few sweets which can be prepared in ten minutes all feature here. 4. In French. "The" bible for lovers of Provence kitchen. This is an unbelievable resource. Some recipes are difficult to execute and depending on where live, you might have trouble finding some specific ingredients fresh from the market. 5. The book was written in the early 1970's and shares Fisher's experience in Aix and Marseilles France during several visits in the 1930's, 1950's and the 1970's. Even though this book is mainly a travel memoir, it paints a wonderful picture of life in those Southern French towns from the point of view of a lone American woman with her two little girls.
