The Bordeaux Kitchen
August 12, 2018 by JennyIn February, I was able to attend the IACP* conference in New York where I met a number of authors including Tania Teschke, who wrote The Bordeaux Kitchen: An Immersion into French Food and Wine, Inspired by Ancestral Traditions. Tania is an old soul who cares deeply about others and nutrition. Her demeanor puts you at ease and her kindness is inspirational. Her debut cookbook reflects all of these things with the added bonus of harvesting her vast knowledge between its pages.
Countless photographs and over 200 recipes fill this book but the real value here is Tania’s narrative and her encyclopedic knowledge of the Bordeaux kitchen and nutrition. In addition, the author explains how eating an ancestral diet is healthier than a modern diet that can contain processed foods and harmful chemicals. While delivering dishes that rely on fermented foods, raw food and other techniques that the French have relied on for centuries, Tania’s recipes are still comforting and delicious.
Bone-in prime rib, Pears in butter and cinnamon, and Rosemary pork ribs are a few of the dishes here along with stocks, condiments from scratch, and lots of wine and cheese! It is apparent that Tania invested years and a good portion of her gentle soul into this work and they were very well spent. It’s a beautiful book that every cook should read to soak all things Bordeaux. Tania has some events planned in the US, please check our calendar to see if she is near you.
