This cookery book provides readers with the gastronomy of France's finest homes where rich culinary traditions have been passed down for generations. Anne Willan, herself Chatelaine of Chateau du Fey in Burgundy, shares the family recipes of over 30 chateaux from all over France. As well as traditional fare, such as Boeuf Daube and Tarte Tatin, there are creations including Biscuit Glace Careme and Truffe en Aumoniere. Over 100 authentic dishes have been tested and adapted for the modern kitchen. Anne Willan has also written "La France Gastronomique" and "The Reader's Digest Complete Guide to Cookery". Christopher Baker has provided still-life and flower photography for "The Glory of Roses" and "The Natural Cuisine of Georges Blanc".
