A propos de cet article

A very good copy of the first (1974) hard cover edition, stated second printing (November 1974), inscribed and signed by Richard Olney on the half-title page. Dust-jacket is in very good condition as well, with two intact micro-tears along the upper edge of the jacket: one on the spine, and the other at the rear spine seam; else with very moderate wear at the extremities. The text is wholly unmarked, pristine, and the binding is bright and fresh in appearance. A beautiful copy of this sumptuous book.

Biographie de l'auteur

MARK BITTMAN is the author of more than 20 books, including the best-selling, award-winning "How to Cook Everything" series, several of which are also successful apps. As a beloved "New York Times "columnist and writer, he produced The Minimalist column, hundreds of food and travel stories and videos, and was the country's leading weekly Opinion writer on food. He now devotes his time to cookbooks, teaching, and developing strategies to guarantee that food is fair, affordable, nutritious, green, and delicious.

James Beard had a national reputation as an authority on every phase of food. Consultant to a wine and spirits establishment, he wrote seventy-six other books and numerous articles for national magazines on widely varied phases of cooking. Mr. Beard, who knew the cooking of every corner of our country, cooked in nearly every language. He lived abroad, traveled throughout Europe a number of times, saw most of the Western Hemisphere, and visited Hawaii and North Africa. His familiarity with exotic foreign foods spiced his extensive knowledge of American cooking at its best.

Mr. Beard was adviser to several large food companies, was food editor of Argosy magazine, and made many appearances on radio and television. His first three books are "Hors d'Oeuvres and Canapes, Cook It Outdoors, " and "Fowl and Game Cookery." Equally at home in the kitchen of his own New York apartment and that of a hotel, James Beard brought the same sure touch to a half-hour supper as he did to the most elaborate buffet. He died in 1985.

Patricia Wells is a journalist, author, and teacher who runs the popular cooking school At Home with Patricia Wells in Paris and Provence.

A former New York Times reporter, she is the only foreigner and the only woman to serve as restaurant critic for a major French publication, L'Express. She served as the global restaurant critic for the International Herald Tribune for more than twenty-five years. She lives in Paris and Provence with her husband, Walter Wells.
