Here is, at last, the new edition revised and edited by renowned chef Jeremiah Tower, with more than 800 recipes of the best French cooking, from savory sauces, soups, cold and hot hors d’oeuvres, and meat, fish, and poultry dishes to sumptuous desserts, including dessert sauces, fillings, and icings.In addition to over 800 recipes, the book includes a chapter devoted to the art of entertaining and serving and on the principles and basic materials of French cooking, as well as a glossary and extensive index.
