When French Women Cook
When French Women Cook: A Gastronomic Memoir | Madeleine Kamman
2 posts | 1 read | 1 to read
Long lauded as one of the world'¬?s most revered culinary instructors, French-born Madeleine Kamman'¬?s career arose from remarkably humble beginnings in central France. As a young woman, Madeleine got her training by working in a family restaurant in Touraine and in the kitchens of France'¬?s most respected regional cooks, who nourished her appetite for the tradition, rigor, and personal nature of cooking. Her exuberant and colorful memoir of that time-originally published over 25 years ago-tells of collecting mussels at the shore, churning butter from the milk of village cows, gathering mushrooms in nearby woods, and then transforming them into glorious food under the tutelage of her informal mentors. Over 250 recipes for the simple dishes she learned at their sides illustrate her evocative reminiscences of a bygone era in rural France. Part travelogue, part social history, part instruction manual, this classic is required reading for anyone who wants to know more about the life, times, and tastes of a woman who has helped shape American cooking. From the Hardcover edition.

Maria514626 I like them all but I‘m leaning bread, too. For me, making bread is mysterious. 😊 2y
Amandajoy Stalking the Green Fairy has me super intrigued, but I can do bread too. 2y

I grabbed a couple books from my library sale room and the tagged book reeks so strongly of cigarette smoke I have to return it. I‘ve never had this happen before but used books have adventurous pasta right? Hopefully someone else will be able to get past it 😬

Anyone else have any fun/weird used book encounters?
