Astrance: A Cook's Book

In this beautiful cookbook Pascal Barbot, one of the most reputed and internationally-acclaimed French chefs, reveals his concept of cooking in the restaurant he created with Christophe Rohat in 2000: the three-star Michelin restaurant L'Astrance. In a series of about fifty `narrative recipes` he describes how and where he found the inspiration for his recipes, how he finds his products, how he uses, prepares and cooks them. These `narrative recipes` are completed by texts by Chihiro Masui. For each menu she gives her tasting impressions that serve as an introduction for the dishes presented in the book.
