What is Michel Roux : life is a menu : reminiscences and recipes from a master chef about?

Michel Roux began his life1s work at the age of fourteen when his mother took him to be apprenticed at a grand patisserie in Paris. There, day after day, he did nothing but break eggs ‹ the painstaking beginnings of a long, hard training in traditional French cuisine. Almost half a century later, he looks back at the experiences that have made him one of the most highly regarded chefs in the world ‹ owner of one of the two three-star restaurants in Britain: the Waterside Inn at Bray. Typically, he thinks of his life in the form of a menu, as he presents incidents and reminiscences as the courses of a formal meal, with each chapter liberally seasoned with recipes and entertaining anecdotes. Along the way, we learn about the dishes that have meant most to him, from his mother1s soup to a friend1s recipe for baked eggs and truffles. A classic culinary treat for anyone passionate about food and cooking.
