World-class cuisine, gorgeous images, and lively storytelling fuse in this stunning new volume by Michelin-starred French chef Olivier Roellinger. The chef, whose passion for the sea and for travel imbues every aspect of his cooking, is continually exploring the maritime heritage of his region in a cuisine that exudes flavor, freshness, and unexpected harmony. Combining bold innovation with a rich understanding of his ingredients, which range from the freshest locally-grown vegetables to exotic seafood from foreign waters, Roellinger creates dishes which are at once startlingly contemporary and deeply rooted in French culinary tradition.
Eighteen key ingredients form the core of the delectable recipes in this book. Roellinger tracks the voyages of these ingredients through history and weaves them into original recipes, producing a cookbook of remarkable vision and indelible flair.
Olivier Roellinger runs the Michelin-starred Relais & Château Les Maisons de Bricourt in Brittany, France. He has published several books in French on food and Brittany. He was one of the chefs featured in Flammarion's Great French Chefs (2003).
