Anthony Bourdain, executive chef of the New York brasserie Les Halles, shares the recipes and techniques of classic French bistro cooking. With his trademark humor and bluntness, Bourdain explains the equipment, ingredients and basic skills a home cook needs. He offers recipes for dishes such as steak frites, cassoulet, boeuf bourguignon and onion soup, along with advice on stocks and sauces. The book aims to make serious French cooking accessible without condescension.
