Vincent's Cookbook [Hardcover]

Vincent Guerithault (Author), John Mariani (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1995

Here is an extraordinary combination: a young French chef, trained in the traditional kitchens of France, who came to the Southwest and found his culinary place in the sun. A James Beard Regional Award winner, Vincent Guerithault has created almost 200 recipes that will thrill fans of both the Southwest and the best of French cooking, transporting them beyond the traditions of either cuisine to create a new splendid synthesis.

Editorial Reviews

Review

Over 200 recipes take European cuisine and redesign it for American tastes, relying on corn, peppers and other southwest staples to blend with French preparation techniques for lively new results. From a Black Bean Soup with Goat Cheese to Grilled Salmon with Jalapeno Honey Glaze, this requires some degree of preparation; but proves refreshingly different to any interested in new ideas. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars For People Who Love To Eat, but hate to cook!, September 17, 2000

This review is from: Vincent's Cookbook (Hardcover)

Vincent Guerithault's book is filled with easy gourmet delights. For those too busy to spend hours in the kitchen, but love to eat meals that taste like we have, this is the cookbook to buy! I was fortunate enough to meet Vincent and sample one of his dishes at the California Wine and Food Festival. Of the fifty or so chefs in attendance, including Wolfgang Puck, his creme brulee and basil raviolli was by far the best in at the festival.
