For anyone interested in a healthier, lighter alternative to traditional French cuisine, this collection of simple, easy French recipes focuses on organic, locally sourced, and sustainable ingredients. Alain Ducasse’s Nature series of cookbooks makes eating healthfully on a daily basis both simple and pleasurable. Ducasse dispels the idea that French food is defined by complicated techniques, time- consuming recipes, and loads of butter and cream. Along with nutritionist Paule Neyrat and chef Christophe Saintagne, he shows how going back to basics means rediscovering the pleasures of sustainable, seasonal French food with maximum nutrition and flavor. The recipes are first and foremost delicious, but they are also healthy and respectful of natural resources and stress sustainable practices—which is why animal protein is de-emphasized (as well as salt and sugar, too) in favor of more vegetables, more legumes, and more grains, leaving meat and fish to be used sparingly—if at all, as many of the recipes are vegetarian—for flavor. This volume takes a more holistic approach to mealtime and includes tips and ideas for reusing leftovers and reducing waste.
100 Original Recipes from the Master Chef Adapted for the Home Chef
In this sumptuous book, Sophie Dudemaine--one of the bestselling cookbook authors in France--has selected and simplified 100 recipes from Alain Ducasse's encyclopedic Grand Livre de Cuisine. While retaining the spirit of Ducasse's recipes, Dudemaine has made the world-renowned chef's cuisine accessible to every home cook. In addition, Linda Dannenberg, the author of more than 20 books on French cooking and culture (as well as Stewart, Tabori and Chang's Perfect Vinaigrettes), has tested and adapted the recipes for an American audience. The book includes a wide range of starters such as pumpkin veloute soup and scallop salad; entrees such as salmon with morels, scampi carpaccio, spicy lamb loin, and duck a l'orange; side dishes such as pesto pasta and risotto with zucchini and parmesan; and desserts such as apricot tarts, macaroons with mascarpone, and caramel ice cream, among many other delights. Recipes range from classic French dishes (foie gras, chicken fricassee, and crepes Suzette) to international favorites (lobster Newburg and veal saltimbocca). Whether preparing meals for family, friends, or entertaining, home cooks of every ability will enjoy creating their own cuisine a la Ducasse.

A memoir and manifesto from the world's most Michelin starred chef, Alain Ducasse, with introductions by internationally renowned food writer Jay McInerney and chef Clare Smyth. At twelve years old, Alain Ducasse had never been to a restaurant. Less than twenty years later, he received his first Michelin star. Today he is one of just two chefs to have been awarded twenty-one stars. Now, for the very first time, Ducasse shares a lifetime of culinary inspirations and passions in a book that is part memoir and part manifesto. Good Taste takes us on a journey from his childhood, where he picked mushrooms with his grandfather on a farm in Les Landes, via work experience making crepes at a roadside café, several apprenticeships and a traumatic plane crash in which he was the only survivor, to setting up ground-breaking schools and restaurants across the world. He is now taking off his chef whites and passing what he knows to the next generation. Ducasse weaves a poignant ode to the humble vegetables that have inspired his entire cuisine and to the masters that guided him along the way, from Paris to New York to Tokyo. As he looks to the future, he reflects on just what 'good taste' means.
Alain Ducasse presents parents with the keys to giving young children healthy food. Alain Ducasse is one of France's best-known chefs and well known for his devotion to healthful eating, as demonstrated in his critically acclaimed and best-selling book Alain Ducasse Nature. Now the multi-Michelin-starred chef goes back to basics and rediscovers the pleasures of preparing simple, locally sourced, natural food for children, from ages 6 months to 3 years. The simple yet delicious dishes included here highlight a range of flavor combinations in which vegetables, fruits, and grains take pride of place, while animal protein is used sparingly. Ducasse casts aside preconceived notions of baby food to reveal that its essence should be composed of the same essential ingredients used in food for adults-locally sourced, seasonal produce and fresh flavors based on a simplified repertoire of recipes without the additives and preservatives found in commercial baby food. Charts, sidebars, and asides containing useful snippets of Ducasse's experience and nutritionist Paule Neyrat's advice are peppered throughout the charmingly illustrated recipes, making for a book that is both useful and beautiful for every parent wishing to start their children out with good eating habits.
