Shipping calculated at checkout
One of France’s most respected contemporary chefs, Stéphanie Le Quellec is known for her two-Michelin-starred Paris restaurant, La Scène. In this volume from the revived Les Recettes Originales collection that began in the 1970s with works by the likes of the Troisgros brothers and Alain Chapel, she presents 115 recipes that reflect her lifelong pursuit of flavor, memory, and product.
Organized in a clear, classical progression, from aperitifs and breads to shellfish, fish, meats, frozen desserts, and sweets, the structure mirrors the disciplined elegance of her cuisine. Signature dishes such as pain perdu with caviar, vanilla-poached langoustines, red mullet with fennel, and a soufflé-style chocolate tartlet showcase her balance of refinement and restraint.
Le Quellec writes of cooking as an act of remembrance: the taste of childhood, the emotion of first discoveries, the search for purity in ingredients. This is a book rooted in technique but driven by feeling, and a thoughtful addition for readers interested in contemporary French gastronomy.
