Explore the food of France's borderlands with acclaimed chef Alex Jackson in his second cookbook Fronti?res. This is a book about the cooking of France’s borderlands: from the geographical to the historical, linguistic and metaphorical. In it, Alex Jackson sets out to investigate the cooking of these borderland areas with a view to exploring the similarities between the food on either side of the borders. From the Riviera, where the border has shifted many times but the cooking remains of a delicious whole, to the Occitan valleys of the Italian Alps, the Franco-German cooking of Alsace, and Marseille, one of the most important ports of the Mediterranean, and its historic (and current) links with North Africa. Alex explores how French cuisine has been influenced through history and that many of these dishes are part of a shared tradition of western European and Mediterranean cookery. With over 80 mouth-watering recipes and fascinating introductions to each region, Frontieres will take you on a delicious gastronomic journey through France's varied borderlands, adding many interesting dishes to your repertoire along the way.
