Enthusiastic cooks, heads up! The inspirational cooking of Michel Troisgros is coming directly to your kitchen table at home. Troisgros is a top chef who has had three Michelin stars for twenty years, was named Best Chef in the World 2018 by his colleagues at the Chefs’ World Summit, and won the Eckhart Witzigmann Prize in 2015. More than twenty years ago Marie-Pierre and Michel Troisgros opened Central, right next to their world-famous, three-star restaurant Maison Troisgros in Roanne. Central is a choice combination of café, restaurant, and delicatessen. Inspired by the concept of Italian salumeria, they took the space in a 1920s’ hotel and turned it into a place that is as purist as it is elegant, where the real art of cooking can be enjoyed. The dishes are light, creative, and varied. The cuisine, a kind of salumeria à la française, takes its inspiration from French country cooking, as well as from exquisite products such as judion or hare liver, and is enriched by souvenirs brought home from other countries. Thanks to the book’s diverse culinary repertoire, you can bring home the hospitable atmosphere and the epicurean joys of Central in eighty-one recipes, and taste a cuisine nurtured by typically French savoir-vivre.
