Description
Book SynopsisFrench cuisine for today’s kitchens. An evocative, intimate food monograph by the duo behind one of the most acclaimed restaurant collections in France – the Michelin starred restaurant group that has moved French cuisine from the ceremony and grandeur of haute cuisine to a lighter, fresher, more approachable style of cooking
This much-anticipated debut book celebrates ten years of chef Bertrand Grébaut and partner Théophile Pourriat’s success. Its highly inspiring recipes demonstrate how they have moved French cuisine away from the ceremony and grandeur of haute cuisine. By introducing an air of simplicity and modernity to their cooking, they gained a legion of admirers, not only for their much-praised Parisian restaurant Septime but for their work in all four of their premises featured in the book. With a preface by acclaimed chef Alain Passard and natural winemaker Thierry Puzelat.
Trade Review"A masterful work of joy and creation that shows how cultural, agricultural and culinary forces forged a beloved Parisian legend. It seems impossible that the sublime experience of the Septime family of restaurants could be translated into a book, yet here it is. Was it sorcery? I think that's the only answer." - Alice Feiring, wine writer and author of Natural Wine for the People
