Then cult book of bistro recipes

Le Bouquin Culte Des Recett

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!
