2024 WINNER OF THE INTERNATIONAL/REGIONAL COOKBOOK GUILD OF FOOD WRITERS AWARD Shortlisted for Fortnum & Mason Cookery Book of the Year –––– ‘This book is a delightful new addition to a most distinguished company of cooks and writers, bravo Alex.’ ― Jeremy Lee Explore the food of France’s borderlands with acclaimed chef Alex Jackson in his second cookbook Frontières. This is a book about the cooking of France’s borderlands: from the geographical to the historical, linguistic and metaphorical. In it, Alex Jackson sets out to investigate the cooking of these borderland areas with a view to exploring the similarities between the food on either side of the borders. From the Riviera , where the border has shifted many times but the cooking remains of a delicious whole, to the Occitan valleys of the Italian Alps , the Franco-German cooking of Alsace , and Marseille , one of the most important ports of the Mediterranean , and its historic (and current) links with North Africa . Alex explores how French cuisine has been influenced through history and that many of these dishes are part of a shared tradition of western European and Mediterranean cookery. With over 80 mouth-watering recipes and fascinating introductions to each region , Frontières will take you on a delicious gastronomic journey through France’s varied borderlands, adding many interesting dishes to your repertoire along the way. —- ISBN: 9781911663782 | ISBN10: 191166378X | ISBN-13: 978-1911663782
