GREAT SWEET FRUIT BOOK, THE

The Great Sweet Fruit Book has a dual purpose: to offer an overview of sweet fruit growing and, at the same time, to review its use for cooking. Chef Josep Lladonosa i Giró speaks of apples, peaches, pears, cherries, strawberries, prunes... as an experienced cook; he explains how they were used in medieval kitchens and gives us the recipes. He also leads the reader through the preparation of over one hundred recipes -entrées, main courses and desserts- with fruit as one of their main ingredients. Some, are recipes from traditional cooking; other, belong to the most refined international cuisine, and the recognized geniality of one of the country's best cooks gives us the rest.
