Everyday French Cooking: Modern French Cuisine Made Simple

By Wini Moranville

Book Overview

Grounded in the wisdom of classical French cooking, Everyday French Cooking emphasizes easy technique, simple food, and speedy preparation of French cuisine without sacrificing taste.

Too often, French cooking evokes images of fine dining at ornate restaurants where a small army of chefs hover over sauces for hours, employing precision technique, special utensils, and obscure ingredients to craft elegant dishes that look like they sprang from the pages of Bon Appetit. But this image of French cooking bears little resemblance to the way real French families eat. The French, like their American counterparts, want healthy and delicious food made from common ingredients using typical, everyday utensils.

From modern takes on classic French dishes--like c?leri r?moulade and boeuf bourguinon--to recipes for the kind of cooking found in typical French homes, Everyday French Cooking goes beyond a typical cookbook to include engaging anecdotes, local color, and keen insights about French home kitchens, as well as tips, tricks, and shortcuts to make French cooking accessible to any home chef.

Enjoy making, sharing, and savoring simple French recipes including: Melty Goat Cheese Salad with Honey and Pine NutsSummer Corn and Radish SaladLemony Mustard Roast Chicken Ce SoirPork Medallions with Apricot-Sage SauceA True Croque MonsieurWinter Soupe de PoissonSpinach and Bacon CrepesLime-Pecan MadeleinesBlackberry-Cassis Sorbet The joys of the French table are open to everyone.
