The best of French Bistro cooking—simple yet sophisticated tastes—by the owner and chef of the celebrated New York restaurant.
Buvette celebrates and capitalizes on the trend of informal eating and simple entertaining, but with delicious flair. Jody Williams, owner of Buvette restaurant, shows the home cook how to create casual, polished meals without spending a lot of money or time. Her aesthetic is a combination of Italian and French bistro cooking, using sophisticated taste combinations, but prepared in simple ways to make unforgettable dishes. A comfortable and interesting table will make your meals a pleasure, and Williams helps you think creatively about serving food, like scooping ice cream into a tea cup, or serving chocolate mousse in a silver tablespoon.
