Pierre Koffmann's Memories of Gascony is full of recipes and reminiscences from his grandparents' farmhouse kitchen in rural Gascony. It is an intimate account of his Gascon upbringing, and the traditional cooking of his grandmother which has always been Koffmann's true inspiration. Despite his haute cuisine training, Koffmann has always cooked in his own way, a style that has been rooted in country cooking, even if his presentation and range of ingredients are more sophisticated. Seasonality, respect for the ingredients and the quality of the raw materials are key. As one would expect, the finest of Gascony produce is here - including snails, foie gras and armagnac - but most of Pierre's dishes are humble, frugal, accessible, stand the test of time and speak to the food tastes and trends of today. With a seasonal approach and hints and tips on the best wines to accompany your classic Gascon dinners you'll be spoilt for choice. There's traditional French fare including stuffed snails in red wine, fricasse of rabbit with artichokes and all of your favourite French breads, as well as some basics that will add clout to your repertoire, such as salt cod cassoulet, roast duck with olives and salad of cabbage. Thsi book presents the ultimate in French cuisine from the ultimate French chef.
Biographie de l'auteur :
Pierre Koffmann has been at the heart of fine cuisine in Britain for over 40 years. After working as a young chef in Strasbourg and Toulon, Koffmann arrived in London in 1970 to work under Michel and Albert Roux at Le Gavroche. In 1972 he was made the first head chef of the Roux brothers' new venture, the Waterside Inn at Bray. When Pierre opened La Tante Claire in 1977, it was the start of a residency at the top of the London culinary world that would span four decades. Within six years of opening, La Tante Claire had its third Michelin star, setting new standards for cooking and creating extraordinary dishes from classically simple ingredients, while also serving as an academy for many of today's culinary superstars. Between them his various protégés, from Marco Pierre White and Gordon Ramsay to Tom Kitchin and Jason Atherton, now boast over 20 Michelin stars in their own right. He retired in 2003, but following a sell-out of his critically hailed pop-up at Selfridges in 2009, he returned to the kitchen once more. His acclaimed, informal restaurant, Koffmann's at The Berkeley, serves classic provincial French cooking - the food of his grandparents' farmhouse kitchen.
