Shipping calculated at checkout
A three-Michelin-starred chef at La Vague d’Or and Plénitude, Arnaud Donckele has built his reputation on sauces of remarkable depth and precision. In this volume from the relaunch of the classic Les Recettes Originales series, he gathers 130 recipes that reflect what he calls “the simple happiness of cooking,” a philosophy rooted in generosity rather than performance.
Organized in a traditional, methodical structure, from foundational preparations and aperitifs to vegetables, freshwater and sea fish, shellfish, poultry, game, meats, and desserts, the book reflects the architecture of classical French cuisine. Donckele’s hallmark is balance: unexpected combinations, carefully constructed sauces, and dishes that range from deceptively simple to technically ambitious.
Yet beneath the refinement lies and insistence on pleasure over pressure. For Donckele, the most successful dish is not the most dazzling, but the one made with sincerity and depth of flavor. A substantial volume for readers drawn to contemporary haute cuisine grounded in classical rigor.
