Frites: Over 30 Gourmet Recipes for all kinds of Fries, Chips and Dips
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Hardcover
Overview:
From the first bite to the last, Frites invites home cooks to celebrate the humble fry with a curated collection of more than 30 gourmet recipes for every kind of fry, chip, and dip. The book embraces a wide spectrum of styles—from the classic French frites Pont-Neufs to US-style skinny fries—plus inventive twists like polenta fries and asparagus fries. Whether you prefer peeling or leaving skins on, thick-cut or slender, the guide helps you select the right potato type, oil, and frying approach to achieve that satisfying crisp exterior and fluffy interior every time. Beyond the fry itself, each recipe is paired with tempting dips and accompaniments that elevate weeknight meals, family feasts, or weekend gatherings. This hardcover edition, published in 2014 by Hachette, runs through 126 pages of practical technique, flavour-forward ideas, and approachable instruction designed for cooks at all levels to experiment with confidence and joy. ISBN 9781909342606.
What Makes This Book Stand Out:
Frites isn’t merely a recipe compendium; it’s a celebration of the fried potato as a versatile canvas. Anne de la Forest brings a chef’s curiosity to everyday eating, offering a research-informed tour of fry textures, temperatures, and heat control that demystifies the art of crackling exteriors and tender centers. The book spans a global palate, from timeless Pont-Neufs to modern, street-food-inspired twists, including vegetable-forward options that broaden the fry universe. Each recipe is augmented by dips, sauces, and toppings that transform a simple side into a showpiece dish. The result is a compact, visually inviting hardcover that feels like a practical kitchen masterclass—perfect for weeknights, dinner parties, and culinary experimentation alike.

If you’re stocking a new kitchen, hunting a distinctive foodie gift, or looking for a compact, high-impact cookbook to spark a fry-focused cooking challenge, this hardcover edition delivers practical value and everyday delight.
