Real Life Cooking

Legend has it that Julius Caesar's cook crafted the first Coq au vin--a wine and garlic remedy for the tough old rooster given to Caesar by the vanquished Gauls. Today Coq au vin is one of Europe's most beloved classic recipes--one that has endured and adapted with age, and a liner fowl. "Real Life Cooking gathers contemporary recipes for more than 100 classic European dishes. Each recipe offers time-saving strategies and preparation techniques for creating these traditional flavors without spending hours in the kitchen.Hachette Staff is the author of 'Real Life Cooking', published 2004 under ISBN 9781844300723 and ISBN 1844300722.
