The embodiment of the art and pleasure of French cookery, Pierre
Franey (1921–96) was one of the most influential and beloved of
America’s culinary figures. Before creating his “60-Minute
Gourmet” column in the New York Times, writing his celebrated
cookbooks, and entering our homes via television, Franey presided
over the cuisine at two of the greatest French restaurants in
America: the legendary Le Pavillon, then La Côte Basque.
With style, charm, and affection for his native France and
adopted America, 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.
