French Vegetarian Cooking

In this companion volume to her acclaimed Italian Vegetarian Cooking, Paola Gavin includes over 200 vegetarian recipes representing the varied cuisine of France. The book is divided according to regions and reflects the richness and diversity of provincial cooking. In addition to the recipes, Gavin offers brief histories of each region and describes the various influences on provincial cooking. In northeastern France, many dishes have derived from Flemish and German cuisine. The southern areas of Savoie, Provence, the Compte de Nice, and Corsica have been influenced by the cooking of Italy, while Rousillon and the Pays Basque are linked to Spanish cooking.
