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 New Entertaining in the French Style' exemplifies his philosophy of blending elegance with accessibility, offering readers a vision of French gastronomy that is both sophisticated and inviting. In this volume, Vergé emphasizes the art of hospitality as much as the preparation of food, presenting menus and recipes that highlight freshness, seasonality, and aesthetic harmony while remaining achievable for the home cook.
