than 75 signature recipes, plus an additional 12 recipes Boulud
prepares at home for his friends on more casual occasions,

essential subjects as bread and cheese (bien sur), and, by Bill
Buford, a thorough and humorous look at the preparation of 10
iconic French dishes, from Pot au Feu Royale to Duck a la Presse..
With more than 120 gorgeous photographs capturing the essence of
Boulud's cuisine and the spirit of restaurant Daniel, as well as a

'A romping, chomping, savoury tour de force... Hilarious' Simon
Schama What does it take to master French cooking? This is the
question that drives Bill Buford to abandon his perfectly happy
life in New York City and (with his wife and three-year-old twin
sons in tow) move to Lyon, the so-called gastronomic capital of
France. But what was meant to be six months in a new city turns
into a wild five-year odyssey. As Buford apprentices at Lyon's best
boulangerie, studies at a legendary culinary school and cooks at a
storied Michelin-starred restaurant, he discoveries the true grit,
precision and passion of the French kitchen. 'Hugely entertaining'
Observer 'Rollicking, food-stuffed entertainment... Gourmets and
gourmands will savour this' Spectator
Mistral is a portrait of Provence seen through its legendary wind.
Photographer Rachel Cobb illustrates the effects of this relentless
force of nature that funnels down France's Rhone Valley, sometimes
gusting to hurricane strength. The mistral is not just a weather
phenomenon: it is an integral part of the fabric of Provencal life
impacting its architecture, agriculture, landscape and culture.
Houses have few or no windows on the northwest, windward side and
the main entrance on the southern, sheltered side. Rows of trees
lining fields create windbreaks to shield crops. Artists have long
been drawn to the area for the clear skies that follow a mistral.
Nobody who lives or spends time in the region can escape the
mistral. It is everywhere yet nowhere to be seen. How do you
photograph the wind? With images of a leaf caught in flight,
grapevines lashed by powerful gusts ("You can taste the wine better
when there's a mistral," a winemaker says), a bride tangled in her
veil, and even spider webs oriented to withstand the wind. Out of
thin air Cobb makes us feel the unseen. Including an introduction
by Bill Buford and an excerpt from Paul Auster about his life in
Provence. Cobb draws from writing by Jean Giono, Frederic Mistral
and others. The book is designed by Yolanda Cuomo Design, NYC.
