culinary treasures that Richard
Olney brought home from France
for his American audience, the
spritely and commanding Lulu

noteworthy. A second-generation

French Wine and Food by Richard
Olney
Richard Olney,
best known as a general food
writer, is one of America's most
erudite experts on authentic
French cooking, but it's
difficult to find anyone who
knows much about him, except for
such authorities as Patricia
Wells and the late James Beard.
Olney has contributed so much to
French cuisine, expressing his
passion for French cuisine, what
it's all about in a most
descriptive way - his books are
great classics. |

explored the cuisine, carefully
documenting all he had learned
for future generations of chefs,
cooks, and food lovers. |

Food & Wine of France: A Feast
of Food & Wine by Roger Voss
As you'll
discover, France is most unique
when it comes to food, even
though it's considered a
continuing gourmand(ise)
experience, especially traveling
through the Regions of France.
There are twenty two Regions in
all, and all twenty two Regions
have unique food specialties and
wines. It is a bouquet of
flavors, each Region's
specialties are uniquely their
own. It is the same with their
wines. Even though the wines
are quite different for each
area, they are basically using
the same kinds of grapes.

French Provincial Cooking by
Elizabeth David
David studies and
analyzes cooking the way a
scholar analyzes literature,
and, as a result, her titles are
far more than just cookbooks.
Along with the recipes, of which
there are many, she explains at
length the histories of the
dishes and offers splendid
advice on serving wine with the
meals. Both volumes, published
in 1960 and 1958, respectively,
contain forewords by Julia
Child. Italian Food was the
author's personal favorite.

The Art of Eating by Mary K.
Fisher
A collection of
essays by one of America's best
known food writers. The book
includes culinary advice to
World War II housewives plagued
by food shortages, portraits of
family members and friends (with
all their idiosyncrasies) and
notes on her studies at the
University of Dijon, in France.
Through each story she weaves
her love of food and passion for
cooking, and illustrates that
our three basic needs as human
beings--love, food and
security--are so intermingled
that it is difficult to think of
one without the others. |

Truffles: Ultimate Luxury,
Everyday Pleasure
The intimidating
truffle of restaurant cuisine
gets the home treat-ment in the
attractive guide to using a
variety of truffle products as
well as the fungus itself.
Safina, president of a company
that imports truffles and other
foods, and food writer Sutton
cogently describe the history,
cultivation, and types of
truffles and truffle products
before presenting over 100
recipes for soups, appetizers,
entrees, etc. The explanation
of truffle types and guidelines
on buying are extremely useful,
especially for the more
affordable products like truffle
butter and cheese, which may be
even less well known than the
fungus.
