The Kitchen Book & the Cook Book

• Used Book in Good Condition

<B><I>Two culinary classics by a literary master.</B></I><P><P>Nicolas Freeling, best known for producing some of the finest modern crime fiction, began his working life as an apprentice cook in a large French hotel, and continued cooking professionally for many years. Here, reprinted in a single volume, are two splendid books of gastronomical memoir drawn from those experiences. Each is a fortuitous blend of the culinary and the literary and includes such recipes as cinnamon lamb stew and bouillabaisse, embedded in the entertaining text. Funny, wise, full of inspiration, <I>The Kitchen Book & The Cook Book</I> will find a place close to every cook's hearth and heart.<P><P>"Nicolas Freeling is the author of two of the best books about cooking in the English language. The Kitchen Book and The Cook Book have long been favorites of mine." - M.F.K. Fisher
