Ratatouille Creole, Habitant pea soup, Mauritian bredes au bouillon . . . the distinctive flavour of French cookery lingers in the nation's ex-colonies across the globe. French Colonial Cookery is a fascinating exploration of the culinary interchange between French colonies the world over. As French settlers began to put down roots abroad, they adapted their favourite regional dishes to accommodate exotic local ingredients and a new tradition of cross-cultural cuisine was born. Prizewinning cookery writer David Burton, author of the acclaimed The Raj at Table and Savouring the East, interweaves descriptions of indigenous dishes with a social history of their transformation by French colonists. Mixing recipes and chronicle, this is a mouthwatering exploration of the enduring French legacy in contemporary cooking.

hardcover. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
