Just in time for autumn's bounty of apples, this collection of easy-to-follow sweet and savory recipes by a renowned French chef is a feast for all the senses. Perfect for anyone who has just gotten a bushel of apples at the farmer's market or from their CSA without knowing exactly how to use them all, this mix of traditional and classic recipes is both adventurous and innovative. Each recipe comes with precise instructions and detailed photography by master chef Christophe Adam-ideal for anyone looking to broaden their repertoire and expand the possibilities of cooking and baking with apples. Adam explains all types of apples and their stunning range of colors, textures, and tastes.
