Renowned columnist and restaurant critic A.A. Gill has teamed up with British restaurateurs Jeremy King and Chris Corbin to create a book celebrating the phenomenon of the grand brasserie tradition. In Brasserie Zédel, the author takes a walk through the popular Piccadilly establishment, exploring its origin, design, tradition and cultural significance.“I was delighted to work with A.A. Gill again, particularly on a subject that has long intrigued and inspired us”, says Jeremy King, CEO of Corbin & King.“The Grand Brasserie, its history and ambience is something we’ve celebrated through our own restaurants and we are very pleased to be able to honour these unique institutions through Adrian’s words and David Loftus’ beautiful photography”.Think ‘brasserie’ and ‘grand café’ and the image that immediately springs to mind is a decadent, smoke-filled place populated by coffee-drinking thinkers, writers and artists in 1930’s Europe. The grand café and the brasserie combine an opulent setting with a menu and pricing for the everyman. Zédel is such a place: a grand Parisian brasserie transported to the heart of London – combining dining with cabaret and a cocktail, complete with an American Bar. Housed in a former 1915 hotel off London’s Piccadilly Circus, it was restored to its former grandeur and re-opened in 2012 with all the charm and distinction of Art Deco Paris.More than thirty iconic French brasserie recipes are included, such as soupe á l’oignon, moules marinières, carottes rapées, boeuf bourgignon and tarte au citron. A selection of lavish dessert and cocktail choices taken from the menu at Zédel complete the picture.Published on Bastille Day, Brasserie Zédel is a celebration of traditional French food and culture from the place described as “the only real brasserie in London”, by renowned French chef, Pierre Koffmann.
