This art includes not just cooking methods, but serving, menu selection, wine, presentation, utensils, materials and sources of food. The recipes cover everything from the use of leftovers to elegant banquets, from simple to complicated, all under the aegis of a master of the "Cordon Bleu de Paris" cooking school.
