by Martin Picard
On This Page
Description
Owner and chef of Montreal's innovative Au Pied de Cochon restaurant, Martin Picard brings together 55 of the restaurant's recipes in this sumptuous album, which not only dodges culinary fads but also breaks the mold of the typical cookbook in its playful, award-winning design. There's no calorie counting here -- Picard leads readers into shameless gastronomic indulgence with such hearty dishes as Foie Gras Pizza, Venison Chinese Pie, and, per the restaurant's name, oven-braised Pigs' Feet. show more Six hundred color photos and 50 illustrations complement the lively text. show lessTags

If you've just been to a party where the host thought that hummus, cheeses, bread and various third world wines were enough for his guests, this is the book to console yourself with. Author uses foie gras with lavishness and exuberance. If I have to get the gout, then eating at Au Pied de Cochon is probably the best way to do it. He claims his seafood platters are the best in the world, and I believe him. Hardcover edition comes with DVD which is worth the price.
An incredible tribute to the food culture of quebec and to all things porky and ducky.
