Aside from being a famous crime writer Len Deighton was also well known for his 'cookstrips' - sketch-notes for cooks to pin up in the kitchen to stop their cookbooks from getting dirty, something Deighton himself did having studied at the Royal Collage of Art while working part-time in restaurants
In Basic French Cooking just fifty strips - some illustrating a technique, others a process or a category of a dish - enable the cook to prepare about 500 French dishes.
A truly unique take on the cookbook, this is a must-have for collectors of cookbooks and cooking enthusiasts alike
