Coles Colette's Best Recipes: A Book Of French Cookery at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
First edition, first printing copy of a charming cookbook written by an admirer of her family's cook, Colette, "a French cook who entered domestic service at 8 years of age and had cooked for 51 years at the time she set down her recipes with Marie Jacques who describes the style as "French 'cuisine de famille'; and that-like most other very good things and very good folks-is simplicity itself." The Story-teller, who is the first person narrator of this cookbook, is eager to impart Colette's principles of cooking-and those principles are very firm. "Never grease cake tins with either margarine or salt butter, for both make the cakes stick and burn." "Yeast cakes, meringues, and the Gateau Fecule must not have baking powder put into them on any account." The cookbook has chapters on soups, eggs, ragouts and stews, birds and beasts, left-overs, chafing dish recipes, fish, frying, vegetables, sauces, candied fruits and sweets, cakes and biscuits, fruit, creams and sweet dishes, and conserves.
