A collection of recipes introduced in his own words: "We would like to state clearly, beginning with the very first recipes, Les Diners de Gala, with its precepts and its illustrations, is uniquely devoted to the pleasures of Taste. Don't look for dietetic formulas her: We intend to ignore those charts and tables in which chemistry takes the place of gastronomy.
