Ripailles by Stéphane Reynaud
Loosely translated, ripailles means feasts; and no better word could describe this sumptuous tome.

A feast for the eyes as well as the appetite, it defies preconceptions about complicated; French cuisine, taking it back to its rustic roots with nearly 500 pages of recipes.
