Dinner Chez Moi
Elizabeth Bard
This
book was an absolute joy to read. Elizabeth Bard shows how anyone can
incorporate a little bit of French flair into their eating and dining
habits. I liked the fact that this wasn't just a cookbook - it was
full of tips and ideas as well as recipes. I loved reading about the
experiences the author had while living in France, most of which were
told with humor and affection.
The
recipes included in Dinner Chez Moi are straightforward and
easy to follow. I personally loved the hint about cooking leeks with
a little mustard and cream. This is now one of my favorite side
dishes. I also loved the “After-School Madeleines”, which make a
great sweet snack and cook in less than 15 minutes, perfect for
morning or afternoon and not just for children. Speaking of children,
parents will no doubt appreciate the section devoted to eating habits
of French children. The differences in tastes and traditions make
this a must for anyone interested in food. All in all, it's the
perfect book for those who want to know more about the French
lifestyle.
