A sumptuous French cookbook that immerses readers in the
incomparable cuisine of the Périgord region, by the bestselling
author of the beloved Dordogne Mysteries series, co-authored with
his wife, food writer and novelist, Julia Watson. Bruno Courrèges,
the protagonist of Martin Walker's internationally acclaimed
mystery series, is not only the local police chief of the idyllic
village of St Denis. Bruno also happens to be an impressive amateur
chef, and in this delightful new cookbook, the culinary and
cultural inspiration behind Bruno's fiction world comes to life.
Featuring local recipes, charming anecdotes, and a history of its
French setting, Bruno's Cookbook invites readers into the bucolic
life of Walker and his wife, Julia, and showcases their passion for
the region's rich cuisine. Brimming with truffles, pate, top
quality fruit and vegetables, famed regional cheeses and wines, the
Périgord is a gourmet's paradise. Bruno's Cookbook includes over
90 recipes, steeped in local flavours and prepared in Walker's
large country kitchen, from Duck Breast Fillets with Honey and
Mustard, Red Onion Tarte Tatin, and a classic Beef Pot Roast, to
Chard Gratin (Bruno's comfort meal), Hazelnut Meringue Cake, and
Homemade Blackcurrant Liqueur. Centred on the splendid institution
of the village market, the recipes are organised around the people
who provide the food: the fisherman, the hunter, the cheesemaker,
the forager, the baker, and the winemaker. A feast for the senses,
Bruno's Cookbook transports readers to France's gastronomic
heartland.
