Books by Stephanie Alexander
The Cook’s Companion
by Stephanie Alexander
This has a very clever balance between information and inspiration. Stephanie is obviously a very experienced cook, but she wears that knowledge and experience quite lightly and doesn’t hit you over the head with it.
Cooking and Travelling in South-West France
by Stephanie Alexander
She definitely captures the soul of the Southwest. She obviously has such a good understanding of what she is doing and she captures the identity of the place. I don’t think a French person could have done better, even somebody from the Southwest, so I’m very impressed… It kind of opens your mind and if you get a bit of confidence in your way of thinking and how you see food and understand food, then maybe you try different things and develop your own way of cooking.
