First published in France in the 1930s, Cooking with Pomiane continues to inspire today's chefs with its inventive simplicity. Edouard de Pomiane turned classic French cuisine on its head, stripping away complicated sauces and arcane techniques to reveal the essence of pure, unadorned good cooking. A food scientist, he offers lucid explanations for why food behaves as it does. Read him and the cream in your gratin dauphinois will never separate, your pot au feu will never be stringy, and your choux pastry will puff to astonishing proportions. Pomiane's great accomplishment was to restore confidence to the cook, and joy to the kitchen. Cooking with Pomiane spills over with amusing stories and more than three hundred superb and streamlined recipes; it is as much a delight to read as it is to cook from. This Modern Library edition is published with an Introduction by the renowned food writer Elizabeth David.

A glorious book in its own right - a unique style and enticing way to encourage one to try the recipes, which so far in my experience have been delicious, exciting and surprisingly straightforward to follow! A must for anyone who loves cuisine in any form.

A pleasure to read and a pleasure to cook from.
The translation is a bit stilted in places, and I'd be curious to see the original, but can't find a corresponding work on amazon.fr that fits the title.

A wonderful collection of witty and knowledgable essays-cum-recipes. Not a replacement for a basic cookery book, but to be kept on the same bookshelf for inspiration.

How to be a perfect host
This is a fabulous book, written from the heart of a true host. This is not a cookbook that tells you how to impress - it's a warm and witty treatise on the art of hospitality. Read more
