The Kitchen Book & the Cook Book
- Used Book in Good Condition
Nicolas Freeling, best known for producing some of the finest modern crime fiction, began his working life as an apprentice cook in a large French hotel, and continued cooking professionally for many years. Here, reprinted in a single volume, are two splendid books of gastronomical memoir drawn from those experiences. Each is a fortuitous blend of the culinary and the literary and includes such recipes as cinnamon lamb stew and bouillabaisse, embedded in the entertaining text. Funny, wise, full of inspiration, The Kitchen Book & The Cook Book will find a place close to every cook's hearth and heart.
"Nicolas Freeling is the author of two of the best books about cooking in the English language. The Kitchen Book and The Cook Book have long been favorites of mine." - M.F.K. Fisher
