Synopsis

In 1975, Anne Willan, a culinary icon who, along with Julia Child, Jacque Pepin, and James Beard, launched the modern culinary industry, founded Ecole de Cuisine La Varenne in Paris and educated some of today's most notable chefs among them Steve Raichlen, Gale Gand, Virgina Willis, Martha Holmberg, and Alexis Guarnaschelli. Upon enrolling at La Varenne, all students received a helpful and easy reference tool: 'La Varenne Basic Recipes'. The booklet was based on chef Albert Jorant's belief that "there are only fifty basic recipes in the culinary repertoire, and all other dishes can be made from them." Edited by Anne Willan, 'La Varenne Basic Recipes' was a treasure-trove of essential recipes for any aspiring chef. Now, for the first time, the 50 essential recipes from the La Varenne curriculum are available to chefs, culinary students, and passionate cooking enthusiasts in 'Secrets from The La Varenne Kitchen'. Not a cookbook of finished dishes, this is a collection of the sauces, creams, pastries, and other elements that make up a dish. Above all it is a working tool, to fashion professional excellence. It is a practical book for practical cooks both professional and home enthusiasts.
