The pairing of classic French cuisine with the perennial appeal of one-pot cooking makes a delicious combination, a natural for aromatic sauces and slow-cooked, hearty meals.Ranging form the Mediterranean seafood of Provence, to the buttery roasts of Tours, to the cheese-and cream-based dishes of Normandy, One Pot French features more than 100 mouthwatering recipes for traditional one-pot soups and stews; fish, poultry, and meat dishes; vegetables; sauces---even desserts.

Author Jean-Pierre Challet, a renowned French chef, shares his secrets for perfecting classic dishes through anecdotes and helpful tips, while a special section on French basics makes it easy for any cook to master this cuisine.
