High-Flying Flavors
The Cuisine of Southwest France Goes Global
With 62 recipes that harmoniously combine local products from southwest France with ingredients hailing from all over the globe, 10 articles and more than 100 short texts on the products used, and a host of beautiful photographs, this book will treat your imagination and your taste buds to a journey around the world. Yannick Delpech, whose restaurant - L'Amphitryon - is just a stone's throw from Airbus' facilities at Toulouse-Blagnac Airport, will be your guide.
Full of energy and enthusiasm, this talented young chef regularly pairs products from his native southwest France with ingredients from other countries to create his delectably imaginative recipes. On your journey, you'll see southwest France - Béarn, Rouergue, Périgord, Chalosse, Bigorre and the Basque Country - and the rest of the world - from Japan to Morocco by way of Australia, Thailand, Italy, Venezuela and more - through his eyes and the wonderful products he has selected.
Yannick Delpech's recipes invite you to take flight. You'll leave Gascony behind only to touch down there again, your arms laden with the most exceptional products the world has to offer.
Yannick Delpech is the Michelin two-star chef of L'Amphitryon in Colomiers, near Toulouse, right at the heart of Airbus' aeronautical complex. In this book, Delpech - who became France's youngest starred chef at the age of 24 - shares some of his most celebrated recipes, combining 62 products from his native southwest France with 62 international products. A testament to this great young chef's attachment to his own identity and to his respect for culinary cultures worldwide.
