Roger Vergé (1930–2015) was a seminal figure in twentieth-century French gastronomy, renowned for pioneering cuisine du soleil, a style that emphasized freshness, lightness, and the vibrant flavors of Provence. As chef and proprietor of the celebrated restaurant Moulin de Mougins, he helped redefine haute cuisine by moving away from the heavy, elaborate preparations of classical French cooking toward dishes rooted in seasonality and regional authenticity. 'Roger Vergé’s Entertaining in the French Style' embodies his culinary philosophy of uniting refinement with conviviality, offering readers menus and recipes designed to transform dining into a celebration of taste and atmosphere.
