Vive la cuisine!

Peter Peter, who masterfully combines culinary art and cultural history, once again opens his treasure chest of cultural history and explores the undisputed supremacy of French cuisine over the centuries. His opulently illustrated book, filled with 30 original recipes, whets the appetite to discover the full finesse and variety of this culinary paradise.

This history of French cuisine spans from Celtic beginnings and Greek colonists to the invention of the modern restaurant during the revolutionary era and today's Michelin-starred dining. The Roman conquest of Gaul, which Romanized agriculture and cuisine, and the culinary refinement at the court of the Sun King are two of the enduring pillars of this UNESCO-recognized World Heritage of the Grande Nation since 2010. The vibrant center of Paris, the diversity of regional cuisines, and the artisanal quality of wines and food characterize this heritage. With approximately 157 illustrations in the interior.
