RIPAILLES

Stéphane Reynaud is chef at restaurant Villa9trois in Paris. His previous cookbook "Pork & Sons" won the Grand Prix de la Gastronomie Francaise. He writes beautiful recipes that stretch from simple home cooking to fanciful dishes. In "Ripailles" (which is French for 'Feasts'), he presents the best of the French kitchen and delves into the very roots of French cuisine. "Ripailles" is gorgeously designed and is bursting with full-colour photographs and unique and fun illustrations. More than just a cookbook - it's a treasure to keep and adore.
