Potager

Foreword by Alice Waters. Chronicle Books reissues this cookbook classic with a new cover to introduce it to a new generation of readers. The French country tradition of cooking from a potager, or kitchen garden, has for centuries produced meals that are seasonally fresh, simple and sparkling with the essential flavorings of their carefully grown and prepared ingredients. Here, Georgeanne Brennan captures the full vitality of this age-old cuisine. Arranged by season, Potager features a collection of sixty imaginative recipes made from the very freshest fruits, vegetable and herbs of nature's bounty. With over 100 vivid color photographs of the gardens, the ingredients and the finished dishes, this book presents the simplicity and balance of French cuisine at its finest.
