Larousse Gastronomique

Recently I began reading Larousse Gastronomique. It is a classic French cookbook with approximately 1200 pages. The whole cookbook is a list of food, recipes and French cooking terms. One might ask why read such a book? I think it’s a very important book to read so one has a further knowledge of food. Cooking is all about knowledge and creativity, so why not help yourself out. I’m only on page 10 and have already found two recipes I’m going to try in the coming weeks. The first is a vegetable achar with lemon and the second is a salt cod acras. I’m very excited to read this book in the coming months to further my food knowledge.
