About this item
The French cooking of everyday life is lighthearted, accessible, and suited to modern tastes.
Whether it's getting weeknight dinners on the table fairly fast (Basil Beef, Rhubarb Chops, or Carrot Juice Chicken) or leisurely cooking for dining at a slightly slower pace (Lamb Tagine, Holiday Hen, or Fennel Bass), Laura Calder shares recipes she's created at home in her own French kitchen.
Calder anchors everyday meals to reliable pantry staples, turning basic eggs, potatoes, and mustard into unpretentious feasts. Casual apéritifs feature warm cheese gougères, seasoned olives, and potato chips pressed with fresh parsley leaves.
Later chapters embrace unhurried cooking, featuring savory potato torte and cabbage globes braised in rich broth. Desserts remain delightfully simple, from chilled coffee pots to crisp caramel moons studded with peanuts. Appetizer Recipes: From dipping fresh thyme branches into salted olive oil to frying delicate Champagne herb beignets, effortless apéritif bites set a relaxed tone before the meal. Comfort Food: Rustic braises like guinea hen bubbling in double malt beer with bacon and juniper berries deliver hearty French bistro warmth without tedious kitchen fuss. One-Pot Meals: Generous stovetop assemblies like housewife chicken cook whole birds alongside diced potatoes, pearl onions, bacon, and tender garlic cloves all in a single casserole. French Desserts: Skillet-caramelized apple tarte Tatin, airy passion fruit soufflés, and delicate honey baby madeleines.
