The lush photos in this are what make it. Freson is one of the fathers of modern food photography, but the writing and recipes are also marvellous – if you can stop looking long enough at the pictures to get to them.

A classic, The first book to see food in a different more contemporary way. Robert Fresson was the first one to take a modern approach and shoot food not always when finish but before during preparation.

The best food pornography. The pictures of podgy farmers in Normandy and French cheeses gets you hot under the collar!
