Synopsis

Jane Grigson (1928 - 1990) was an English cookery writer. She was a long-time food columnist with The Observer, and won awards for her cookery books including Vegetable Book (1978) and Fruit Book (1982). She was made Cookery Writer of the Year in 1977 for her book English Food. With her BOOK OF EUROPEAN COOKERY, she gives a truly authentic, down-to-earth knowledgeable introduction to the cuisines of Europe. Including more than 300 hundred recipes and lavishly illustrated with well over 100 full-color photographs, JANE GRIGSON'S BOOK OF EUROPEAN COOKERY is a feast for the eye as well as the palate. Much expanded from a highly successful series of articles in the "Observer Colour Magazine", the book covers ten distinct geographic areas - France, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Russia, Italy, Germany, Austria/Hungary, Great Britain, and Scandinavia. For each cuisine Mrs. Grigson supplies not only the classic recipes (such as boeuf bourguignon from France and Chicken Paprika from Hungary) but also the unusual and unexpected (Partridge with almond Sauce from Spain and Siberian Ravioli). Taking us with her from country to country, she comments on the history and customs of each region, capturing and recording her impressions with the same kind of wit and clarity that has so delight readers and reviewers of her earlier books. JANE GRIGSON'S BOOK OF EUROPEAN COOKERY is, in fact, a gastronomic tour led by one of the most admired culinary experts.
