Available in English for the first time, this charming book combines over 300 classic regional French recipes from Lyon, the hotbed of the French culinary scene, with reminiscences by one of the only female chefs to have won six Michelin stars. La Mère Brazier became the most famous restaurant in France—a magical gastronomic experience that drew such stars as Marlene Dietrich as well as French presidents. Its proprietor and chef, Eugénie Brazier, was the first woman awarded six Michelin stars. She became—and still is today—the inspiration and mentor for modern French cooking, and leading chefs including Paul Bocuse have trained with her. Written in her words and first published in 1977, La Mère Brazier is a culinary masterpiece. Part memoir and part recipe collection, it is translated into English here for the first time. This is a master class in how to cook, with over 300 recipes—from Bresse chicken in mourning (with truffles) to lobster Aurora as well as simple classics like artichokes with foie gras—that anyone can easily follow at home. While most classic French recipes are complicated and time-consuming, Brazier’s cooking is more practical and user-friendly. This book features anecdotal culinary wisdom and charming trivia (Bocuse had to iron tablecloths and wash dishes before moving up to prepping). Filling an important gap in culinary history, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in classic recipes and French regional cuisine.

This celebration of the grand culinary tradition at the Ritz Paris features inspirational stories of three great men and is completed with sixty recipes.   At the age of thirteen, the young sommelier Cesar Ritz was summarily dismissed by his employer who told him he lacked the flair and talent to succeed in the hospitality business. Of course, Ritz went on to become one of history's greatest hoteliers, creating the Ritz in Paris and its world-renowned restaurant L'Espadon with the help of renowned chef Auguste Escoffier. Both Escoffier and Ritz loved simplicity, but perfection reigned in their finest of dining rooms.
Today, having climbed the ranks at L'Espadon, Michel Roth is now at the helm of this Michelin two-starred restaurant. His menus pay tribute to the heritage of Escoffier, using his classical standard as the backdrop for outstanding contemporary cuisine. The spectacular, award-winning egg-shaped macaroni and truffles dish inspired by Escoffier appears among the sixty featured recipes. Superb photographs accompany each recipe, inviting the reader behind the scenes of this legendary culinary monument.

'Tutte le mattine - è una tradizione lionese alla quale sarebbe molto difficile rinunciare - vado al mercato e mi aggiro a lungo fra i banchi. Facendo la spesa di persona, so che un contadino ha dei cardi eccellenti, che un altro è lo specialista degli spinaci e che un terzo ha portato stamattina deliziosi formaggi di capra. A volte non ho idea di quali piatti cucinerò per il pranzo di mezzogiorno: decide il mercato. Ed è questo, penso, che fa la buona cucina. Nell'elaborazione dei nostri menu, tengo conto ugualmente della stagione. Quando è la stagione della lepre, cuciniamo la lepre; in primavera arriva l'agnello, poi le verdure novelle. Anche il calendario decide la composizione dei nostri menu. Tutte le ricette, semplici o complicate, raccolte in questo libro, riusciranno solo nella misura in cui chi le esegue saprà riconoscere e acquistare al mercato i prodotti di qualità necessari per la preparazione dei relativi piatti. Per contro oso affermare che se un piatto, anche il più prestigioso, non riuscirà perfetto, l'insuccesso non sarà però mai completo se la ricetta sarà stata eseguita con prodotti di prim'ordine. Sono verità lapalissiane, ma che quasi tutti sembrano ignorare. In altre parole, per fare della buona cucina conta, sì, l'abilità ai fornelli, ma la scelta dei prodotti, il saper fare la spesa, è quantomeno altrettanto importante'. Un classico, una vera e propria 'bibbia' gastronomica da uno dei fondatori della 'Nouvelle cuisine'.
