Recipes From the Chateaux of the Loire Cookbook France

Additional Details

Description: This cookbook blends the history of France with the history of gourmet cuisine, mixing it with good food and a good lifestyle. 

From pheasant pate to pike cooked sturgeon-style, from Loire salmon with sorrel to Diane vol-au-vents, the owners of twelve chateaux in the Loire Valley have given Bleuzen and Gilles du Pontavice their best family recipes taken from notebooks that are handed down from generation to generation. 

Some of the recipes are traditional; others are exotic. Most of them were previously unknown and all of them are part and parcel of the glorious or picturesque history of the Loire Valley. 

This book is also the history of the twelve families who, for the first time, agreed to show us what they eat today in the Chateaux of the Loire Valley.
