Cookbooks
The bible of French home cooking, Je Sais Cuisiner,
has sold over 6 million copies since it was first published
in 1932. It is a household must-have, and a well-thumbed
copy can be found in kitchens throughout France. Its author,
Ginette Mathiot, published more than 30 recipe books in her
lifetime, and this is her magnum opus. It's now available
for the first time in English as I Know How to Cook. With
more than 1,400 easy-to-follow recipes for every occasion,
it is an authoritative compendium of every classic French
dish, from croque monsieur to
cassoulet.
Clear, practical and comprehensive,
it is an essential guide to the best home cooking in the
world: no cuisine is better than French at bringing the very
best out of ingredients to create simple, comforting and
delicious dishes. The recipes have been carefully updated by
a team of editors led by Parisian food writer Clotilde
Dusoulier, to suit modern readers and their kitchens, while
preserving the integrity of the original book. The great
reputation of I Know How to Cook has been built over
three generations by the fact that it is a genuine cookbook:
each recipe has been cooked many times, and because it is
used by domestic cooks rather than chefs. And with its
breadth of recipes and knowledge of techniques, I Know
How to Cook doesn't just teach you how to cook French,
it teaches you how to cook, period.
In the tradition
of Phaidon's other culinary bibles, The Silver Spoon,
1080 Recipes and Vefa's Kitchen, I Know How to
Cook offers menus by celebrated French bistro chefs at
the end of the book, including recipes by Daniel Boulud and
Francois Payard.
