Around My French Table: More Than 300 Recipes from My Home to Yours: member book reviews
Queezle_Sister from Salt Lake City, UT
This is a lovely cookbook - big with beautiful pictures and lovely recipes.
The chapters are organized around a dinner plan - with hor d'ouvers, soups, salads and starters, then different sorts of mains, and ending with dessert recipes. An especially useful chapter at the back gives instructions and recipes for fundamental components, such as pesto, tart dough, and lemon curd.
The photography in the book is stunning. Its inspiring to read, and I love its organization. Recipes are typically accompanied by "bonne idee" - variations - and storage and serving suggestions.
Are the recipes reliable? I've had a bit of mixed success, however the highs are so very high that I'm keen to try to cook the entire book.
