"World-class cuisine, gorgeous images, and lively storytelling fuse in this new volume by Michelin-starred French chef Olivier Roellinger. The chef, whose passion for the sea and for travel imbues every aspect of his cooking, is continually exploring the maritime heritage of his region in a cuisine that exudes flavor, freshness, and unexpected harmony. Combining bold innovation with a rich understanding of his ingredients, which range from the freshest locally-grown vegetables to exotic seafood from foreign waters, Roellinger creates dishes which are at once startlingly contemporary and deeply rooted in French culinary tradition." "Eighteen key ingredients form the core of the recipes in this book. Roellinger tracks the voyages of these ingredients through history and weaves them into original recipes, producing a cookbook of vision and flair."--BOOK JACKET.
