Halfway between a recipe book and a tourist guide, this book offers to take you on an original and delicious journey around the Cognac area. The reader is invited to share restaurateur Thierry Verrat's address book, to go and discover his marvellous world.
Those who appreciate the very best in food and drink will find in this tour local products and an enticement to travel to an area which is rich in surprises. These addresses are a guarantee of quality. They are also the means to discover traditions, markets and events through products, professions and visits associated with food and drink.
This book is also a very practical guide to the different prize-winning local specialities. Road maps are included to guide would-be explorers to some of the best addresses in the unique world of spirits. However this book is also a gastronomic reference book. Through 45 illustrated recipes, Thierry Verrat shows how to use these flavours.
These original and easy to follow recipes, based on the different products presented in the book, are so many invitations to enrich in a simple and practical way your discovery of Charente eel, the fish of La Cotinière, Chalais veal, Barbezieux capon, Marennes Oléron oysters, Limousine meat, lamb, goat's cheese, truffles, foie gras, and of course snails...
