by Jody Williams (Author), Mario Batali (Foreword by)

The best of French Bistro cooking--simple yet sophisticated tastes--by the owner and chef of the celebrated New York restaurant.

Buvette celebrates and capitalizes on the trend of informal eating and simple entertaining, but with delicious flair. Jody Williams, owner of Buvette restaurant, shows the home cook how to create casual, polished meals without spending a lot of money or time. Her aesthetic is a combination of Italian and French bistro cooking, using sophisticated taste combinations, but prepared in simple ways to make unforgettable dishes. A comfortable and interesting table will make your meals a pleasure, and Williams helps you think creatively about serving food, like scooping ice cream into a tea cup, or serving chocolate mousse in a silver tablespoon.

Recipes include:
  • Ricotta Fritters
  • Carrot Spoon Bread
  • Shaved Brussels Sprouts with Pecorino and Walnuts
  • Potato Chips with Rosemary Salt
  • Scallops with Caper Brown Butter
  • Chocolate on a spoon
And much more!


Sidebars offer useful tips on everything from building a bar to removing wine stains. With gorgeous photography and surprisingly simple recipes, cooks will be drawn to this book again and again.
