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 céleri rémoulade 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 Nuts Summer Corn and Radish Salad Lemony Mustard Roast Chicken Ce Soir Pork Medallions with Apricot-Sage Sauce A True Croque Monsieur Winter Soupe de Poisson Spinach and Bacon Crepes Lime-Pecan Madeleines Blackberry-Cassis Sorbet The joys of the French table are open to everyone. You can live modestly and cook simply, yet dine splendidly, night after night.
