I served it with fingerling potatoes. I used Benton's bacon which is a slight twist because bacon lard in French in not smoked unlike Benton's which is heavily smoked. The bacon is diced into lardons and cooked until slightly crispy. Then the salad is seasoned with plenty of black pepper and red wine vinegar.
Poached egg on top I used the Arzak technique. Devour with a slice of crusty bread.

Has anyone come across a digital version of Practical Professional Cookery revised 3rd edition H. I am using this as the textbook for my culinary arts students and a digital version would come in very handy for creating notes and handouts. No English versions of his works exist and his work is hard to find, even though he is the greatest chef who ever lived. After I get through his works I'd add menon, la Varenne, and other hard to find, but historically important masters of French cuisine.
An incomplete version was published in I think but even the that version seems lackluster for the few recipes it does cover. I think it's time the world looks to its past, but I don't speak great French and it's a huge task to undertake. I hopefully plan on publishing this work and anyone who helps me will get a very fair cut, and if we decide not to publish it, I'll put it out on the internet for free. I'm working in Google docs so we can collaborate. I'm first cataloging the index to cross reference the pre-existing incomplete English version to give us a reference of what yet needs to be done, and from there we will go down the list of recipies and Translate them one by one.

Has anyone seen this cookbook anywhere? Reviews "This beautiful book is proof that there is always something more to learn about the cuisine of France, even for a French-trained professional chef. A highly acclaimed teacher, food writer and cookbook author, Willan is the founder of the famed LaVarrene Cooking School in Burgundy.
She knows French cuisine and culture intimately and shares that magnificent bounty here. A gift book par excellence for gourmet travelers and for those who would rather cook that cassoulet at hime, just dreaming of dinner in a ch teau. It's fascinating to watch the same fish stew transform from saffrony, Pernod-laced bouillabaisse neawr the Mediterranewan to oniony, buttery chaurdree by the Atlantic Coast.
Gorgeous pastoral photography, too. Willan's heralding of these classic recette du terroir or recipes from a specific place suffuses the book with a respect for authentic flavors, all the while exciting the reader with the desire to capture the essence of the real thing. The book is filled with color photographs that capture the romance of the French countryside and includes many sidebars on culinary traditions. It looks too pretty to sit on the kitchen counter.
But it's a workhorse at heart, with clearly written instructions and, welcome but more unusual, the reasons for preparing a dish a certain way. But her focus on the classics actually ends up refreshing, and her recipes - longer, but clear and detailed - are reassuring. We admire by her sentiment that "there's a right way to cook traditional dishes, and all others are wrong".
When it comes to classic provincial French cuisine, cookbooks don't get much more complete than this.
