Charles, Cherie and Robert ; told to J. Hilary Barth OF TALES AND RECIPES
Albany Frank Rumel 1959 Softcover Very Good- in Very Good- dust jacket
8vo ; Recipes and travel tales from the couple who founded San Francisco's famous FLEUR DE LYS restaurant. Cherie and Robert Charles established the Fleur de Lys restaurant in San Anselmo but later moved to 777 Sutter Street in San Francisco which remains the address of the latest incarnation under the inspired stewardship of Chef Hubert Keller. Monsieur Robert Charles was a graduate of the Ecole Hoteliere and his early experience began on the Riviera. Following the war (World War II), he married Cherie and they opened their famed restaurant at Gourdon - a medieval chateaux 2,000 feet up overlooking the Mediterranean which immediately became a rendezvous for the diplomatic and fashionable society, as well as winning the much-coveted recognition of the exacting Guide Michelin. When they immigrated to the San Francisco area and opened Fleur de Lys in the mid 1950s, they continued their tradition of truly fine food and fashionable atmosphere. This book presents exotic recipes and wine suggestions accompanied by romantic stories of travels through and residences in Europe and North Africa, entertaining and dining with the rich and famous, and even a few of the not so rich and not so famous. Hare in Cream Sauce, Turtle in Sherry, Tajin de Poulet, Spanish Mondigillas, Chamois in Colorado. Charming illustrations scattered about. Title page trimmed 1/4" at foredge, dust jacket has some short closed tear at spine.
