Guy Savoy: Simple French Recipes for the Home Cook  -  by Guy Savoy, Patricia Wells
Guy Savoy is one of the top chefs in Paris. At his modern haute cuisine restaurant, Guy Savoy, which was awarded a third coveted Michelin star in 2002, and at his Parisian bistros, Au Butte Chaillot, Les Bookinistes, and L'Atelier de Maitre Alberthe, Savoy prepares dishes that are flavorful and inventive, but still informed by the traditions and techniques of classic French cuisine. In this cookbook, Savoy presents the best of his personal repertoire of updated classic recipes from his childhood - the tasty dishes this great chef loves to cook at home. Many of the eighty dishes are easy and quick to prepare, such as Green Bean Salad with Creme Fraiche, Mussel Soup, and Strawberry Clafoutis. There are also a handful of special occasion recipes perfect for casual entertaining, including Celery Remoulade with Smoked Duck, Roasted Lamb with Vegetables, and Cheese Souffle. All of the recipes are heavily illustrated with color photos, which detail both the cooking techniques and the delicious finished product.
