Pierre Franey Cooks with His Friends: With Recipes from Top Chefs in France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium & the Netherlands - Tapa dura

Franey has collected classic and innovative recipes from these world-famous chefs--such as Paul Bocuse, Michel Guerard, Fredy Girardet, and Pierre Wynants--and has visited their gardens and local markets. Inspired by these experiences, he has developed some one hundred delicious, health-conscious recipes of his own.

Among the tantalizing recipes are Paul Bocuse's Black Sea Bass With a Potato Crust, Paola Cavazzini's Pork Tenderloin with Prosciutto, Roger Souvereyns' Belgian Endive with Sea Scallops, and Fredy Girardet's Passion Fruit Souffle.

Franey's contributions include Medallions of Lamb with Basil, Monkfish and Scallops in Bouillabaisse Sauce, Baked Striped Bass Fillets with Vegetables, Spicy Shrimp and Squid Salad, and Bittersweet Chocolate Sorbet. These delicious dishes represent the happy marriage of traditional European cooking and the new health-conscious cuisine.

Sadly, Pierre Franey died on October 15, 1996, shortly after completing work on this book. Pierre Franey Cooks with His Friends, his only illustrated cookbook, is a warm tribute to his many friends in the food world and a fitting culmination to his multi-faceted career.
