Today I want to
write about a nice little cookbook: The French Market Cookbook –
Vegetarian Recipes from My Parisian Kitchen by Clotilde
Dusoulier.
Clotilde also has this nice blog, Chocolate & Zucchini,
which isn't a vegetarian blog, but there are many nice and innovative
vegetarian recipes as well.
The book is
divided into the four seasons and the dishes are obviously seasonal,
which is a very clever way to arrange a cookbook. Clotilde has a
pleasant writing style and she writes a story to each recipe,
including some French market flair. I find that to be a nice touch,
and as a friend of French food markets, I love reading anything about
them.
I adore this book
especially for its wonderful spring recipes made with beautiful ingredients, some of which I have
posted here on the blog, like: Very Green Salad (p. 18-19), Crunchy Lentil and Watercress Salad (p. 20-22) and Radish-Top Pasta (p. 26-28). I loved cooking all of those dishes and they were packed
with good flavours. I'm sure I will regularly look into this book for ideas and good recipes.
These are my
previous posts in My Cookbooks series:
This sounds like an amazing cookbook. I just visited her website as well and was in awe with some of her vegetarian recipes!

She has some great veggie recipes.
DeleteI have both Clotile cookbooks, she was one of the very first food bloggers to get a cookbook deal. I agree its a lovely cookbook, I haven't cooked from French Market, but have from Chocolate and Zucchini.
ReplyDeleteLucky you, I don't have the Chocolate and Zucchini... yet. :)
