The French Basque Table: Traditional Recipes from Iparralde, the French Basque Country (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798195169954)

The French Basque Table is a portrait of a place.

Set between the Atlantic coast and the Pyrenees mountains, the French Basque Country-Iparralde-is shaped by fishing ports, inland farms, and pastoral mountain life. Its cooking reflects that landscape: simple, seasonal, and rooted in local ingredients and tradition.

This book is an invitation to that table.

Inside, you'll find essential dishes of the region. From coastal fish stews and grilled seafood to farmhouse cooking, market foods, and traditional desserts. Along with the foundational preparations that define the cuisine, including piperade, Basque tomato sauce, stocks, and preserves.

More than recipes, this is a guide to how the French Basque kitchen works. How a small number of ingredients come together to form a complete table.

This is the food of Iparralde-honest, grounded, and enduring.
