Inspired by his gastronomic journey through the waterways of Southern
France, Rick Stein s French Odyssey is a delightful exploration of
French culinary traditions. Rick s gastro-tour took him along the Canal
du Midi, from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, as he sampled the local
delicacies. Among the recipes he s gathered here are the
classicsPissaladiere, Bouillabaisse, Cassoulet, Tarte Tatinas well as
new takes on traditional ingredients, including Rabbit with Prunes and
Polenta, Seared Foie Gras on Sweet Corn Pancakes, and Prune and Almond
Tart with Armagnac."
