Rachel Khoo was determined to get to grips with French cooking so to learn more she moved to
Paris not speaking a word of French and enrolled at Le Cordon Bleu the world- famous cookery
school. Six years later she still lives and works in Paris cooking up a selection of classic
French dishes from all over the country and giving them a fresh makeover with her own modern
twists. From a Croque Madame muffin and the classic Boeuf bourguignon to a deliciously
fragrant Provencal lavender and lemon roast chicken Rachel celebrates the culinary landscape
of France as it is today and shows how simple these dishes are.The 120 recipes in the book
range from easy everyday dishes like Omelette Pipérade to summer picnics by the Seine and
afternoon 'goûter' (snacks) to meals with friends and delicious desserts including classics
like Crème brulee and Tarte tatin. It's a book that celebrates the very best of French
home-cooking in a modern and accessible way. Real French food is no longer something only
served in fancy restaurants Rachel will show how you can add a little French culinary touch to
your everyday life at home no matter where you are in the world or how big your kitchen is!
