Dining with Marcel Proust - A Practical Guide to French Cuisine of the Belle Epoque

Shirley King, a professional chef and lifelong lover of Proust's works, was inspired to draw these two strands together into this tribute to a master: a collection of recipes representing the best of classical French cuisine from Proust's belle Ãpoque, ranging from the sophisticated elaboration of lobster à l'amÃricaine or truffled partridge to the simplicity of croque-monsieur. King combines practical instruction, quotations from Proust's works, and rich illustrations in a way that will charm every lover of Proust and every cook.
