Festive & Seasonal Dishes

French chef Jean Imbert reveals more than fifty of his favorite home recipes, which he prepares for his family, friends, and the world’s most famous celebrities, from musicians Pharrell, Beyoncé, and Jay-Z to actors Robert De Niro and Marion Cotillard, to Olympic sprinter Usain Bolt and chef Thomas Keller.

The dynamic Imbert’s passion began at an early age, and he maintains the humble, intimate connection with cooking that his beloved grandmother and parents instilled in him from childhood. Discover his very personal cooking style, always respectful of seasonal ingredients, and simultaneously simple but with a creative twist: macaroni with chanterelle mushrooms and apricots; cod confit with citrus, avocado, and banana; scallops with cauliflower and green apple; roasted chicken; stuffed clams; and his epic tarte tatin.

With the support of his friend Jamie Oliver, who wrote the foreword, Jean Imbert shares his lifelong passion for serving up these recipes from the heart.

Because families and friends get together before and after the big day, we have included ideas for breakfasts, lunches, dinners, canapés and puddings for the days between Christmas and the New Year, together with advice on alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. For New Year’s Eve itself, choose between our recipes for a formal dinner or a more relaxed get-together.’ Tim Wilson, Founder of Ginger Pig
