The Pleasurable Table: 100 French, Italian, and American Inspired Classics

By Mark Betchkal

The Pleasurable Table is a look at the pleasure of creating and eating great food. Here is a book that advocates how one should eat - with gusto and beyond: with desire, passion, disregard for convention, and a tyrannical demand for quality and authenticity. It also advocates the pursuit of food as total immersion in pleasure. Food not as medicine. Food not as art. Food not as science. Food not as physical nourishment. Rather food as the authentic expression of its ingredients and the techniques which transform it in pursuit of pure unmitigated pleasure. There are more than 100 recipes inspired from the classic French, Italian, and America repertoires with 91 photographs. The recipes are clear and straightforward with list of ingredient and time requirements, so you can plan and cook with confidence. This collection of recipes is for people who care about food and love to prepare it. It is for people who care about what they put within them. It is for people who see the creation and consumption of food as an immersive pleasurable experience. This book is also for persons who want to cook seasonally with the freshest local ingredients.
