Product Description

Product Description
Joanne Harris' bestselling novels, "Chocolat", "Blackberry Wine" and "Five-Quarters of the Orange", are affectionately known as her culinary trilogy. In them, Joanne Harris whets our appetites with some tantalisingly delicious recipes taken from her own grandmere's recipe book. For, like Framboise, the heroine of "Five-Quarters of the Orange", Joanne has family recipes which have been passed down through the generations and which she shares with us now in a mouth-watering celebration of French cuisine. From pumkin soup to Moules Mariniere, from Tarte aux cassis to Fouace Aveyronnaise (Grandmother's festival loaf), and taking in salads, starters, fish, poultry and plenty more along the way, these are simple and stylish recipes from the heart of the French family kitchen. Illustrated with stunning integrated photographs and complemented by anecdotes from her family, past and present, "The French Kitchen" will be a must-have cookbook for all lovers of food and France.

4.0 out of 5 stars For All Lovers of Food and France!, 15 Feb 2006
By A B CeDar - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
A delightful book in which Joanne shares with us ‘her family
recipes, passed down through the generations. From her
Grandmother’s ‘Festival Loaf’, to traditional French classics
such as ‘Moules Mariniere’ of ‘Boeuf en Daube’, ‘The French
Kitchen’ is a tantalising collection of casseroles, soups,
roasts, salads, tarts and sweets. A collaboration between a
writer who loves food and a former chef who loves writing
about food, ‘The French Kitchen’ gathers together simple yet
stylish recipes from the heart of a French family.’

256 pages high quality, shiny pages split over 8 chapters:-
Salads, Soups and Savouries, Fish, Poultry, Meat, Vegetables,
Desserts and Chocolate, sandwiched between an
Introduction and an Index of Recipe Titles & Conversion
Tables.

Superb full colour photography throughout.
Our reviewers loved the recipe for ‘Fillet Steak with Tarragon’,
‘a simple but effective way of preparing steaks, dating back
to the 17th Century’, taking just 10 minutes to prepare and
the same again to cook and 'Crunchy Roast Duck with Turnips', using legs instead of breast, therefore creating an economical meal.
Other favourites were:-
‘Gratin Dauphinois’ - the ultimate potato dish, ‘Tarte au
Citron’ (Lemon Tart), ‘Salmon in Red Wine’, an unusual
combination but a rich, earthy dish which accompanies
pasta really well, and ‘Potée Auvergnate’ (Smoked Ham
Winter Pot) - a traditional French country dish.
However, the favourite chapter was.........’Chocolate’!
‘Chocolate Pot’ is ‘pure indulgence of the highest order', but
‘Gateau Lawrence’ is simply the best, rich chocolate cake
recipe we have ever tried! It is so rich, only a sliver is
required! Bookmark pages 224/225 for when your copy
arrives!
‘Easy Chocolate Ice Cream’ and Chocolate Fondue’ share
two pages and are easily adapted for children and adults
alike!
‘The French Kitchen : A CookBook’ is exceptionally good
value for money, on Amazon, today!

5.0 out of 5 stars A delight - a must-have for lovers of France & French food., 2 Jan 2007
By Joan Cecil (Gloucestershire UK) - See all my reviews
This book is a delight. Even to read it takes you into the heart of France, it's markets & kitchens. All the recipes I have tried were a success, but there is also a thread running through of life in a warm French family, it is as good a read as Joanne's novels.
