Village Books and Alleyn’s Schools Enterprises are delighted to host an evening with three-Michelin starred chef Pierre Koffmann celebrating a new edition of his award-winning cookbook Memories of Gascony
With recipes and reminiscences from his grandparents’ home in rural Gascony, this is an intimate account of school holidays spent on the farm helping his grandfather to harvest and hunt, and learning to treasure seasonality, simplicity and the best ingredients at his grandmother’s side.
The recipes stand the test of time and speak to the food tastes and trends of today. While you read the charming stories of everyday life on the farm, you’ll devour the cuisine as you go along.
“If you do not own a copy of Pierre Koffmann’s glorious Memories of Gascony your cookbook collection is not complete. Brilliant to read; even better to cook from.” Jay Rayner
Pierre Koffmann has been at the heart of fine cuisine in Britain for nearly fifty years. After working as a young chef in France, Koffmann arrived in London in 1970 to work under Michel and Albert Roux at Le Gavroche and then the Waterside Inn. Within six years of opening, La Tante Claire had its third Michelin star. Between them Koffmann’s protégés now boast over twenty Michelin stars in their own right.
