Great Classic Recipes of Europe: Recipes from the Finest European Restaurants

PRENTICE/HALL

For the first time, the master recipes of the world's greatest chefs are now revealed! In this exciting and extraordinary cookbook more than 450 recipes representing the Specialties of the House of the finest restaurants are presented. And it's a delicious fact that they are easy to read, easy to understand, and easy to prepare. Sandy Lesberg has collected recipes that have heretofore been found only on the menus of the most select restaurants both in the United States and abroad. Now you can produce them in your own home, and you'll soon discover that all the recipes have one thing in common. There is a basic simplicity. The fundamental truth about cooking is that more can be accomplished with ingenuity and loving attention than with mumbo jumbo. In preparing the book, the author has reaffirmed the maxim that the more outstanding the restaurant and the more exalted the chef, the less complicated is their approach to food. Anyone with serious intent and a sound sense of taste, together with a practical spirit of adventure, can produce dishes of quality and, with the proper coaching, even of distinction.

AT THE TABLE OF LE GRAND VÉFOUR is a collection of private conversations of some of the giants of literature, art and music and politics at signal moments of their lives. Sitting in the restaurant that has been a landmark dining establishment in Paris since 1784, Victor Hugo is told by his mistress of fifty years that she is dying. Friends Baudelaire and Edouard Manet, both slightly drunk on absinthe, come to Véfour for lunch and nearly come to blows. Colette is rescued from a fire in her apartment on Palais Royal, slightly up the street from the restaurant, by the proprietor/chef of Véfour, is carried to the safety of her regular table. Emile Zola hosts an after theatre supper party at Véfour after a disastrous play opening, is comforted by Daudet and Flaubert. Marc Chagall has birthday lunch with his twin granddaughters. Gustave Mahler dines with his wife, Alma, and tells about his visit with Sigmund Freud in Leiden. Jean Paul Sartre decides to refuse the Nobel Prize and with Simone de Beauvoir plans his announcement. Sixteen chapters, each a different highly personal revelation of a person of great worth and merit involved in serious discussion. The book is profusely illustrated with long ago menus, many photographs of the people involved and AUTHOR'S NOTES at the beginning of each chapter setting the context for the conversation AT THE TABLE OF LE GRAND VÉFOUR by Sandy Lesberg

Have you heard of the great Sacher Torte controversy? For the uninitiated the Sacher Torte is a Viennese chocolate pastry containing a layer of fruit conserve. The Hotel Sacher claimed the original recipe wherein the fruit conserve was layered in the center of the pastry. Not far away the Demel Pastry Shop also claimed sole proprietorship of the original recipe, indicating the fruit conserve should be layered directly at the top. Since the genuine original recipe was locked away in a vault after having been initially commissioned exclusively for royalty, a seven year court battle ensued at which time it was adjudicated that both establishments could indeed claim proprietorship of the original recipe. Any city that will tolerate a seven year legal action over a recipe for pastry must be considered civilized. It is a tribute to the dual heritage of Vienna that the majestic influences of the Hapsburg Empire, as evidenced by the great palaces around the city, are balanced by the charming, informal coffee houses that are so important to the people who make up modern day Vienna. Grandeur and simplicity are accommodated in this sparkling, romantic mid-European capital city.
