From onion soup to crêpes Suzettes including pot roast and shepherd’s pie, here are 70 traditional recipes from the real bistro cuisine. A bible when it comes to this typical culinary style and that retraces more than two centuries of culinary history.
We like: an index organized as a menu with starter + dish + dessert, spiked with cute anecdotes and pretty images from the archives.
The must: the lexicon to master bistro language. Next time you will know that if the server says: “annoncez la couleur”, you better order fast and that duck liqueur really means water!
