Cookbook Bouillon
We've known Jean Beddington, the author of 'Bouillon' for many years.
She was and is a pioneer chef. From the early days how she introduced Japanese flavours and techniques to Dutch pallets, she continued to push the boundaries in her famous restaurant, Beddington's.
Although not cooking in a restaurant kitchen these days, Jean still remains as active as ever. Her latest cookbook is called 'Bouillon'. Stocks, as they are taught in chef's school, are the fundamental building blocks in cooking. This book gives readers the know how to getting the best stock you possibly can. Taking you through the sourcing of the ingredients to the cooking techniques and timing to achieve perfection.
The book then follows with an array of tempting and delicious recipes all featuring stock as there base.
The book is currently only available in Dutch, but we hope that an English version will follow soon.
