The Kitchen Sessions with Charlie Trotter

$32.50

The Kitchen Sessions with Charlie Trotter is the companion book to Charlie's PBS Television series by the same name. The book, like the show, emphasizes the spontaneity that makes cooking exciting.

Like the great jazz musicians who see their musical scores as a framework for an improvisational session, Charlie sees a recipe as an inspiration, not a carefully plotted script.

The recipes are written for the home cook. They contain liberal substitution suggestions designed to guide the home cooks through the "framework" of the recipes and enable them to develop their own spontaneous cuisine.
