This cookbook showcases 170 recipes deeply rooted in French terroir—appetizers, main courses, and desserts—generously shared by deputies from every French department, including overseas territories (DOM-TOM).
The diversity and originality of these recipes highlight the richness of France's culinary heritage. Many are cherished family recipes passed down through generations in deputies' families, while others have been creatively updated by elected officials with their loved ones or contributed by local culinary experts such as butchers and restaurateurs.
Part recipe collection, part culinary encyclopedia, this book covers essential regional classics like bouillabaisse, choucroute, Bourbonnais pâté, and maroilles tart. It also delights with surprises such as "Cacasse à Cul-Nu," storzapreti, farcidure, pochouse, and even Cretan unwrapped...
