Cuisine Of Jacques Maximin

From Library Journal The sophisticated, adventurous cook will enjoy preparing these nouvelle cuisine recipes from one of France's premier chefs. The average cook, unfortunately, may be daunted by the difficulty of obtaining such ingredients as eel, truffles, brains, squabs, and caviar, not to mention whether he or she really wants to eat asparagus ice cream or lobster ravioli. The instructions are easy to follow but do assume a familiarity with cooking terms and procedures. The recipes this reviewer tried were superb. Recommended only if there is a demand for gourmet recipes. Joanne K. Hammond, formerly with Pennsylvania State Univ. Lib., Mont Alto Copyright 1987 Reed Business Information, Inc.
