Petits Festin (Michel Bras)

This book is in French. 

Back to hardcover for the new edition of Petits Festins, which has delighted us for many years already.

From Christmas to All Saints' Day, Michel Bras reinvents our traditional snacks through seven key moments of the year: Christmas, Carnival, Easter, Pentecost, Midsummer, August 15th, and All Saints' Day.
Seven key moments of the year and seven essential times of the day: breakfast, morning snack, morning aperitif, after-dinner coffee, afternoon tea, evening aperitif, and evening digestifs.

"Stuffed potatoes with "fat", a few truffle twigs", "Apple juice with onion compote, a blood sausage like here", "Eggmilk, brioche with sugar crystals", "A sweet liqueur, a less sweet strawberry liqueur, strawberries to nibble on orange and lemon", "The veil wine from our friends Plageoles, cep tarts and mushrooms".

From breakfast to the last drink of the night, from cold nights when we huddle together to change the world, to warm days when all we know how to do is dance under the moon, everything is an excuse for sharing and conviviality. Michel Bras offers 49 recipes to transform simple snacks into delicious celebrations: orange wine, brioche with sugar crystals, elderflower lemonade, acacia flower fritters, porcini mushroom tart… A delight.

This delightful reissue of Petits Festins returns to the core of Michel Bras's project: a warm and inviting cookbook filled with sketches and personal anecdotes, a far cry from traditional chef's cookbooks. These are little feasts to share, celebrating conviviality and delicious food.
