Marie-Laure Fréchet & Valérie Lhomme - Ma Frite Adorée (FR)

The ultimate guide to fries! A hybrid work, somewhere between an address book and a recipe compilation.

It all starts with the secrets to a perfect fry (choosing the potato variety, cutting, oiling, cooking, seasoning, the paper cone...). Then come the three main styles of fries: Parisian, Northern French, and finally, Belgian.

With nearly 40 recipes for fries, or accompanying dishes: steak tartare, burgers, mussels, Welsh rarebit, kebabs, fricadelles, roast chicken, shrimp croquettes… many of which come from legendary chefs or establishments (Savy pepper steak, Florent Ladeyn and Clément Dubrulle's frica pizza, Alexandre Gauthier's lobster and chips, Dirk Myny's vol-au-vent...).
