About the Book
A celebration of food as experience and memory rather than mere sustenance, Great Dishes gathers fifty eminent contributors writers, chefs, and culinary experts to share their most treasured encounters with food. Each recollection is accompanied by a re-created recipe from a leading European chef and wine pairings from the Academys foremost sommeliers.
The result is both a gastronomic anthology and a tribute to the art of living well a book to savour and revisit, one that evokes the warmth of shared tables and enduring flavours.
