"Alex Jackson explores the cooking of France's borderlands: from the geographical to the historical, linguistic, and metaphorical. His journey takes us through the Riviera, where the border has shifted many times but the cooking remains of a delicious whole, to the Occitan valleys of the Italian Alps, the Franco-German cooking of Alsace, and to Marseille, one of the most important ports of the Mediterranean, and its historic (and current) links with North Africa. Alex explores how French cuisine has been influenced through history and that many of these dishes are part of a shared tradition of western European and Mediterranean cooking. With over 80 mouth-watering recipes and fascinating introductions to each region, Frontières will take you on a delicious gastronomic journey through France's varied borderlands, adding many interesting dishes to your repertoire along the way"--Amazon.
