No other country in the world can boast such an immense richness of specialties or comes even close to offering such an extraordinary wealth of noble restaurants, in which thousands of chefs nurture the tradition of grand cuisine and with notable creativity continue to produce new culinary delights. This gastronomic tour demonstrates how landscape, climate and culture impact France's cuisine. Master chefs from all corners of the country have contributed to a new, up-to-date portrait of this nation of gourmands, which includes something for everyone, whether you prefer to enjoy the tastes of France in person or in your own kitchen, or let yourself be enchanted in an entirely new way by the selection of fabulous photographs, enticing recipes, and knowledgeable texts about French cuisine. AUTHOR: Andre Domine, in spite of his French-sounding name, comes from Hamburg, Germany. He put down roots in a winegrowing village in the south of France in 1981, and for more than a dozen years he has sniffed and sipped his way through French cellars, kitchens, and landscapes. Part of the project from its beginning, he animates fans of the Culinaria series to retrace his pleasurable discoveries and experience them for themselves. Photographer Gunter Beer discovered his passion for the subject of food while working on the European Specialties volume of the Culinaria series. Further publications with Konemann followed. Beer has lived, worked, and enjoyed life in Barcelona, Spain for several years. Reports about every aspect of food and the culture it stems from, both practical and anecdotal, and naturally all the most important recipes from France's various regions open up a culinary universe that you can capture in your own kitchen.
