A Chef's Tale: A Memoir of Food, France and America Inscribed by Pierre Franey Pre-Owned Hardcover First Edition 259 Pages Condition: Very Fine/Fine - See Photos, a mark/stain on side of book pages With style, charm, and affection for his native France and adopted America, Pierre Franey takes us into his life in the world of food, interweaving his story with irresistible recipes and, here and there, impulsively giving away a chef’s secrets. He takes us into his childhood in Burgundy, where the bountiful produce and the high respect accorded to the preparation of food grounded Franey in a tradition that would serve him well when he began his apprenticeship at age fourteen in Paris restaurants. In A Chef’s Tale, Franey relives the days of America’s French food revolution and adds immeasurably to our sophistication about the great world of French cooking—and about cooking itself.
