This month, I have decided to spoil you! After
suggesting two extraordinary books, whose subject matter was hard to digest, I
wanted to put a little balm in your heart - I mean, your taste buds.
On a September Saturday on my way to my fitness club
for a swim, I stopped at a Coop supermarket and became euphoric because there
was a stand with books for CHF 8 and CHF 5 - a real bargain.
I bought two. These are traditional French recipes
with a few revisited dishes. The images are very attractive and what I like
is the explanation of the recipes - easy and concise. In my opinion, it is difficult to go wrong.
There is an incredible selection of amuse-bouche,
starters, main courses and desserts, including jams... Here is my round-up of
some of the lovely recipes from these two cook books...
I’ve been lucky enough to dine in many restaurants
around here, all beautiful and each with a special charm… But, as much as I
love the food, décor and ambiance of these places, my heart will always lie in
my kitchen where I feel happy preparing a gorgeous family meal for the ones I
love. Nothing gives me more pleasure than hearing them go... Hummmm so
delicious... with a smile on their face.
Lots of love!!
P.S.: Tell me what is your favourite French dish?
A mi souffle te mando un beso y suerte con las recetas
ReplyDeleteGracias Citu ! Te deseo una genial semana te mando un beso :)
DeleteI'm a great fan of good boeuf bourguignon or pot au feu. That said, it still takes a lot to beat a good steak frites....
ReplyDeleteYummy... I truly adore a good steak frites...
DeleteThank you so much CB. It's a pleasure to have you here.
Coucou ma belle ! Confit de Canard j'adore cette spécialité culinaire de Gascogne, c'est un plat savoureux chaud et réconfortant. Et je suis une uninconditionnelle du Gratin Dauphinois. Xxx Chantal

É verdade amigo, Francisco. Em casa gostamos de boa comida :)
DeleteI no longer do a lot of cooking at home, but I do love cookbooks. We just got one from a TV show - Surfing the Menu, which features healthy recipes and beautiful pics of Australia.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for sharing your thoughts with us, Monica :)
DeleteWe are very fond of French cooking in our house. Too bad I do not read French. The pictures look delicious!

DeleteFrance - the land of haute cuisine and fine dining. One of my favorite dishes is Coquilles Saint-Jacques. I also love Moules Marinières a lot and Marseille's signature dish - Bouillabaisse fish stew.
