Jeanne Strang has absorbed 42 years in South-West France while holidaying at her house near the village of Lafouillade. Having lovingly restored the derelict farmhouse with her
husband, she was inspired to begin collecting the recipes that fill this well-loved book. It includes wonderful, colourful recipes including pâtés, galatine de volaille truffée, magret
de canard and glace aux pruneaux et à l'armagnac, and of course the classic cassoulet. Jeanne shows how the riches of the land—truffles, walnuts, mushrooms, Roquefort, and prunes—are cooked
and prepared. This is a rich and refreshing book, a must for serious food lovers.
