I have a friend living in France and would love to go there myself. Reading several different French book series, I can imagine what life is like. The photography in the book is stunning. They are pictures of ordinary life and made me feel as if I was there.
My husband and I love to experiment with cocktails. This book was a treasure trove of recipes. I think his favorite was the Amaro Old-Fashioned. Mine was the non-alcohol drink of lime, ginger beer and sparkling water. The eggs mayo with persillade sound amazing and is on my list of things to try as soon as my herbs are ready to harvest. The crème fraiche dip is also on my list. I love the idea of upgraded potato chips.
This book is a must have for anyone interested in French cooking. The recipes are well written, and most ingredients are readily available at most grocery stores. Many of the recipes have color photos to accompany them.
