Booklady Cooks Review:
If you can't be in Paris, you can at least cook as if you were! This book has both classic and modern takes on favorite recipes. And along with the recipes are such lovely stories and tips to help you navigate the world of food when you do go to Paris.
If you are ordering a coffee, you will order a cafe crème, rather than a café au lait, made at home with drip coffee and heated milk. Or, where to go for some of the best open-air markets.
So far, we have cooked and loved the Poached Eggs with Bread Crumbs & Onion Pickle, Stuffed Bread Rolls (with spiced salumi, goat cheese and kalamata olives). and Moroccan Orange Salad - so fragrant with orange water and cinnamon.
