Book by Toklas Alice B
Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Long before Julia Child discovered French cooking, Alice B. Toklas was sampling local dishes, collecting recipes, and cooking for the writers, artists, and expats who lived in Paris between the wars. Hemingway, Fitzgerald, Wilder, Matisse, and Picasso shared meals at the home she kept with Gertrude Stein, who famously memorialized her in The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas.
The Alice B. Toklas Cook Book, however, is her true memoir: a collection of traditional French recipes that predates Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking. Toklas supplies familiar recipes such as coq au vin, bouillabaisse, and boeuf bourguignon, along with what is perhaps the earliest instructions for haschich fudge (“which anyone could whip up on a rainy day"), and she entertains with fascinating memories of Paris—Toklas' home for most of her life—and of rural France, Spain, and America.
“Alice was one of the really great cooks of all time.... The secret of her talent was great pains and a remarkable palate.” (James Beard)
“A book of character, fine food, and tasty human observation.” (The New Yorker)
“It will be the fiercest Francophobe who can read Alice’s recipes and not hanker for a taste, the dullest cook who will not want to get to the kitchen and try them out.” (Time)
“A cookbook that is delightful by way of its fine food has been made doubly pleasurable by the addition of shrewd worldly comment, by reminiscences, personalities, anecdotes, by the strong characters of the Misses Stein and Toklas.” (New York Herald Tribune)

Soft cover. Etat : Fine. Sir Francis Rose (illustrateur). Book looks new and unread but with some slight age-wear. Bottom page edges a bit dusty and top RH corner very slightly curled. A beautiful edition of this famous cookbook, by the partner of Gertrude Stein (who wrote the so-called 'Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas). Originally published in 1954, this collection of recipes is heavily influenced by the many years Toklas and Stein spent in Paris (where Toklas cooked for famous friends including Picasso, Hemingway and Wilder) and includes memories of that city as well as Spain, rural France and the USA. Introduction by MFK Fisher. N° de réf. du vendeur 003721
