In such places the most interesting food of France is to be found. For having lived with a French family while studying over there she was able to bring first-hand knowledge to this short yet concise guide to provincial French cooking. She starts with a chapter on the Batterie de Cuisine. But its the collection of regional recipes that follow that made this book such a treat for 1950s Britain; divided into sections on soups fish eggs luncheon supper & family dishes meat poultry game vegetables salads sauces & sweets she gives an entertaining & informative introduction to each. French Country Cooking" reveals the immense diversity of the cuisine through recipes that range from a primitive peasant soup of the Basque country to the refined Lyonnaise dish of Poulet a la Creme.
