Mes recettes niçoises d’hiver - Gil Florini

Thirty recipes for winter Niçoise cuisine selected from Père Gil's recipes.

"Winter is a time when everything goes to sleep. There are fewer plants and fruits, but there are still seeds, vegetables and fruits patiently ripening in the cellars. There's still what we dry, can and now freeze. There are still our jams and slow-cooked dishes. The recipes I present are rather simple. I've prepared them all a thousand times over, so they're all "my way"... with herbs, sugar, salt, pepper, honey, olive oil and alcohol..."
From starters such as foie gras and duck terrines, to main courses like daubes, soups, mussels, lentils and pot-au-feu, to classic winter desserts like ganses, bugnes, baked apples and even "pompe à huile de Noël" and Père Gil-style French toast... there's something for everyone!
The result of a collaboration between Père Gil Florini and the Baie des Anges publishing house, this book presents nearly 30 recipes for Niçoise cuisine, specially chosen with "winter" products. As we are convinced of the importance of the seasons in food and products, these recipes are conceived with winter products that can easily be found in the markets of the Nice region.
It follows on from the book published last spring... This is the second in our "Mes recettes niçoises de saison" series with Father Gil Florini, after Mes recettes niçoises de printemps.
