More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
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 disarmingly simple dishes she has gathered over years of living in France.
Around My French Table includes many superb renditions of the great classics: 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.

THE BEST.. makes me want to lock myself up in my kitchen and cook through the entire book!
I own a great deal of elaborate, well presented, beautifully illustrated cookbooks of all kinds, but Dorie Greenspan and her books (the two I now own) are the ones I trust the most. I am sure that, just like "Baking from my home to yours", there is not one recipe in this book that I will try and not be rewarded with a scrumptious dish, dessert or delicacy of some kind.
Thank you for one more lovely book Dorie Greenspan.

I bought myself this book with some birthday vouchers I was given. I live in the UK and had never heard of the author. However, I can confidently say that this is one of my favourite recipe books - in fact it's more than a collection of authentic French recipes; it's a sprinkled with anecdotes of Dorie's time in France and in particular, Paris. This transforms it into as much a diary as a cookbook and I not only use it as a cookbook for trying out new recipes, but I just dip in and out of it when I need a dose of Parisienne life and culture! It's introduced me to Dorie and her work and it's been a fantastic present to me from me!! Highly recommended.

This great big heavy beautiful cookbook is so much fun to read and to enjoy the photographs. I've enjoyed reading it so far and look forward to cooking from it too. She's very good at understanding the differences between American cooks and kitchens and marketing and the French equivalent so that we (Americans) can get the correct results. I have given this book to my Italian granddaughter who loves to cook and we are going to share our French Table experiences with one another by email and that will be lots of fun I think. The dessert section looks so great and I'm going to make something from it for a New Year's Eve party.
