Description
Chateau, Jardin, Cuisine highlights some of the exquisite dishes of this southern region
of France, where Mediterranean traditions combine with the nourishing recipes from its
northern plateau. Famous for goats cheese and chestnuts, the cuisine of the Ardeche evokes
memories of stony fields, rugged castles, remote farms and old stone houses, a mountainous
land with rivers full of eels, wild trout in rock pools, where autumn brings an abundance of
game, wine and mushrooms. Yet nature has also dealt the Ardeche a difficult hand: the stony
and dry soil as well as the steep terrain divided into countless small terraces make farming and
cooking with the produce a true labour of love - as is this book. 200 Illustrations, unspecified
