The Country Cooking of France by Anne Willan

The Country Cooking of France by Anne Willan

Why is the country cooking of France so compelling, and why does it exert such fascination and evoke so much respect? The answer lies in the terroir of its pays (regions), the fresh produce and specialty foods that are unique to each area and are then transformed into such traditional favourites as Soupeau Pistou and Choucroute Alsacienne. Anne Willan is well known for her highly respected cooking school in France, La Varenne, founded thirty years ago, as well as her many best-selling cookbooks. She combines her years of experience writing about French cuisine with extensive research, hands-on experience, and a deep appreciation of the current culinary trends in France to create this classic cookbook.

James Beard award-winning author Anne Willan is one of the world's leading authorities on cooking and one of only a handful of people to have won the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award from the IACP (1999). She is the founder of the French cooking school La Varenne and is the director of the branches in Burgundy, France and at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia, and in 2000 she was named Cooking Teacher of the Year by Bon Appetit magazine. Willan's food writing has appeared in countless publications such as the Washington Post, and she is the author of cookbooks including French Regional Cooking, Chateau Cuisine, the classic La Varenne Pratique, the 17-volume Look and Cook series, and most recently, The Good Cook.
