Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. Condizione sovraccoperta: Near Fine. First Edition. Autograph; Signed by the chef and warmly inscribed on the half title to R.W. Apple, legendary food writer for the New York Times. Seduced by the Latin charm of the landscapes, the people, the customs and the cuisine of the land, Alain Ducasse abolished the borders of the two Rivieras by creating a common gastronomy, full of tenderness and love, whose recipes he formulates in the two mixed languages: French and Italian. "Grilled scallops in an autumn salad with tartuffi d'Alba and parmesan shavings"; "Vegetables from the Jardins de Provence in mulino al di lą dell'acqua oil, small stuffed with tomato coulis and focaccia"; "Riviera-style stuffed porchetta"; "Semi-wild ducklings with dolce-forte spices"; "Wild strawberries with warm strawberry juice, mascarpone sorbet". This is the cuisine of the Louis XV in Monte-Carlo today, unlike any other, except for the one who creates, reinvents and embellishes it over the days, time and seasons, putting the best of himself into it: his imagination, his favorites, his discoveries, his gourmet desires.A cuisine of freedom, emotions and passions, but also of rigor, sobriety and perfection, for which he received, at the age of thirty-three, the consecration of three Michelin stars in 1990. This masterful cuisine, splashed with sunshine, which took root at the foot of the Rock, is now a jewel of Mediterranean art. Raymond Walter Apple Jr. (1934 2006), known as Johnny Apple but bylined as R.W. Apple Jr., was a correspondent and associate editor at The New York Times, where he worked for over 30 years, contributing foreign correspondence from over 100 countries, including coverage of the Vietnam War where his penetrating questioning helped expose the unreliability of the military briefings known as the Five O'Clock Follies the Biafra crisis, the Iranian revolution, and the fall of Communist governments in the Soviet bloc. In addition, he served as the Times' bureau chief in Saigon, Lagos, Nairobi, London and Moscow. Later in his career, he turned his skills to food and travel writing with glorious results. A wonderful association copy of Ducasse's love letter to The Riviera. ; Signed by Author.
