From the back cover:
""Drawing on culinary and cultural memories of an idyllic childhood spent in rural Gascony [France], Pierre Koffmann has created this splendidly evocative cookbook based on the peasant recipes of his grandmother, many of which he has adapted to serve in his world famous restaurant, La Tante Claire, in Chelsea [London].
No complicated batterie de cuisine or arcane skills are required to tackle such classic Gascon dishes as Poule au Pot, Stuffed Snails in Red Wine, Chicken Liver Pâte with Capers or Creamy Apple Tart - the pure and forceful flavours speak for themselves. Memories of Gascony is both a celebration of a peasant way of lifer that is fast disappearing and a classic recipe book to be read and used time and again by all keen cooks."
