WHERE THE RIVER NARROWS is a loving homage to Chef Jean-Christophe (J-C) Poirierâs home province, QuĂ©becâthe phrase is a direct translation of the Algonquin word âkebec,â describing the area around QuĂ©bec City where the St. Lawrence River is hemmed in by towering cliffs. QuĂ©bec is where J-Câs love for the nostalgic beauty of French cooking began. In his debut cookbook, he shares recipes from both cultures, QuĂ©bĂ©cois and French, and the intersections between themâwhether from the menu of his Michelin-starred Vancouver restaurant, St. Lawrence, or his kitchen at home.
With over 125 beautifully photographed recipes, J-C provides a full look at French and QuĂ©bĂ©cois cooking with classic dishes like TourtiĂšre, Pot-au-Feu, Tarte au Sucre, and Tarte Tatin, along with bistro favourites like Steak with Peppercorn Cream Sauce and Chocolate Mousse that your friends and family are sure to love. For those who are devoted fans of St. Lawrence, where J-C showcases time-honoured traditions in a transportive dining experience, readers will find his signature dishes, like the famous PĂątĂ© en CroĂ»te, Coquilles St-Jacques Ă la Parisienne, and Tarte au Citron FlambĂ©e au Pastis. Readers seeking reliable recipes for the basics and mother sauces of French cuisine can earmark the Chef âs Essentials chapter as their go-to resource. And to finish it off, a Menus section with suggestions for pairing dishes, selecting wine, and other tips and tricks, will help you pull off the feast of your dreams. Interspersed throughout are essays where J-C shares the full breadth of his culinary experience, his life as a chef and restaurateur, and how he cooks for his family at the end of a long day. With his magnetic yet dry sense of humour, youâll hear J-Câs voice as you recreate his most beloved dishes. Whether youâre an adventurous home cook or an armchair traveller, this enchanting book is just as much a pleasure to read as it is to cook from.
