More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
"New Bistro" profiles a diverse selection of France's best bistros and eateries, from the vintage sophistication of Benoit in Paris, where quality, taste and presentation are of the utmost importance, to the rustic charm of La Colline in the mountains of Provence, with its emphasis on organic, locally sourced ingredients. Acclaimed food writer Fran Warde introduces recipes from 12 cooks who have truly mastered the art of simple, perfectly balanced French food. She outlines the distinctive approach of each to French country cooking, and includes more than 50 of her own recipes, inspired by bistros and eateries from all over France.
About the Author
Fran Warde has worked all over the globe in the pursuit of culinary perfection. Raised in the rural West Country and an enthusiastic cook as a child, she studied hotel and catering management and, after an eighteen-month stint at The Cafe Royale, headed first to the French mountains and then to Australia. Fran connected with the Australian approach to cookery, even spending time on a prawn trawler to learn about fish and seafood. She returned to England and set up a restaurant in London, later moving into catering. She has also set up her own successful cookery school. Fran became associated with French country cooking when she co-authored the internationally best-selling The French Kitchen with Chocolat author Joanna Harris, which won a Golden Ladle at the 2005 World Food Media Awards. This book was followed by the similarly successful The French Market. Other books include Food for Friends; Eat, Drink, Live; and Party! She has written for numerous publications, including The Saturday Times Magazine, BBC Good Food and Waitrose Food Illustrated and Red magazine.

Disappointing,
By
This review is from: New Bistro (Hardcover)
'New Bistro' looks lovely, has great, characterful photographs and a nice chatty tone, but it's more of a travel guide for those who like eating in nice places than a cook book for foodies. There are a couple of excessively generous references to the Michelin Guide (as though they were sponsors) and the introduction to the book sets a 'lifestyle' emphasis which is reinforced by the slightly casual recipes. You get the impression that these haven't been tested at home, or selected on the basis of any idea about who might read the book or want to use it. At one extreme they include canned and prepared ingredients that some will prefer to avoid, and at the other, a bizarre recipe for a whole turbot poached in champagne. If you're after a really good book about how to cook the best of French regional cooking, Anne Willan's Country Cooking of France is the book for you.Country Cooking of France

New Bistro,
This review is from: New Bistro (Hardcover)
This is, quite simply, one of the best cookbooks I have bought in recent months. Not only is this a delight to look at (the photography is excellent) it is also easy to read as it has a laid-back informal tone to it. The recipes are excellent - so far the quail with grapes and the rabbit with tarragon and mustard sauce have both been excellent. You won't be disappointed with this book!
