Made in France

''First published in the 1970s to critical acclaim Richard Olney's ''Simple French Food'' follows in the tradition of the writing of Elizabeth David and Jane Grigson, and Grub Street are re-issuing this classic work in the same format and size as ''Elizabeth David Classics'' and ''Charcuterie and French Pork Cookery''. In ''Simple French Food'' he gives us the best of cuisine bourgeoise: the food that is cooked daily in French households where the tradition of eating well has never been lost. His recipes include hearty soups, vegetable gratins, terrines, pates, fish stews, ragouts, daubes, and sweet tartes.''
