All the while he learns the secrets of the food each region yields up as its bounty for the rest of the nation. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eWith irresistible enthusiasm and an expertise born of decades of experience, Franey conveys how the local American cooks prepare their best dishes. Then -- in recipes ranging from Marinated Brochette of Lamb with Honey and Meadowbrook Muscovy Duck to Strawberries in a Purse -- he provides his own interpretations, exhibiting the skills that have become his hallmark: simple, clear steps; the minimum number of ingredients to make a dish work to perfection; cooking insights that can be applied to other dishes as well; and an approach to each dish that cuts down on the time required from beginning to end. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003eThis is a fitting tribute to America's extraordinary culinary heritage. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003e---- \u003c\/p\u003e\r\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition: \u003c\/strong\u003eGood condition. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sold Out Cookbooks","offers":[{"title":"HC \/ 9780679404927","offer_id":35553112653976,"sku":"","price":11.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0450\/4374\/4920\/products\/PierreFraneyCookingAmerica_4ec9acb7-b9ed-4ba0-af02-af1f6f5bc600.jpg?v=1596189425","url":"https:\/\/cookbookvillage93939-com.myshopify.com\/products\/pierre-franey-autographed-cookbook","provider":"cookbookvillage93939.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
