When Julia Child told Dorie Greenspan, "You write recipes just the way I do," she paid her the ultimate compliment. Julia's praise was echoed by the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, which referred to Dorie's "wonderfully encouraging voice" and "the sense of a real person who is there to help should you stumble." Now in a big, personal, and personable book, Dorie captures all the excitement of French home cooking, sharing the disarmingly simple French recipes she has gathered over years of living in France.

Around My French Table includes many superb renditions of classic French recipes: a glorious cheese-domed onion soup, a spoon-tender beef daube, and the "top-secret" chocolate mousse recipe that every good Parisian cook knows--but won't reveal. Hundreds of other recipes are remarkably easy: a cheese and olive quick bread, a three-star chef's Basque potato tortilla made with a surprise ingredient (potato chips), and an utterly satisfying roast chicken for "lazy people." Packed with lively stories, memories, and insider tips on French culinary customs, Around My French Table will make cooks fall in love with France all over again, or for the first time.

In this beautifully crafted collection, you'll find everything you need to master the art of French home cooking:

  • Iconic French Dishes: Master superb renditions of the greats, from a glorious, cheese-domed onion soup to a spoon-tender beef daube.
  • Simple Weeknight Meals: Discover remarkably easy recipes like a three-star chef's Basque potato tortilla made with a surprise ingredient (potato chips) and an utterly satisfying roast chicken for "lazy people."
  • Parisian Secrets: Learn the "top-secret" chocolate mousse recipe that every good Parisian cook knows--but won't reveal.
  • Insider Culinary Tips: Go beyond the recipe with lively stories, memories, and expert advice on French culinary customs.
