Around My French Table

　　When Julia Child told Dorie Greenspan, “You write recipes justthe way I do,” she paid her the ultimate compliment. Julia’s praisewas echoed by the New York Times and the Los Angeles Times, whichreferred to Dorie’s “wonderfully encouraging voice” and “the senseof a real person who is there to help should you stumble.”　　Now in a big, personal, and personable book, Dorie captures allthe excitement of French home cooking, sharing disarmingly simpledishes she has gathered over years of living in France.　　Around My French Table includes many superb renditions of thegreat classics: a glorious cheese-domed onion soup, a spoon-tenderbeef daube, and the “top-secret” chocolate mousse recipe that everygood Parisian cook knows—but won’t reveal.　　Hundreds of other recipes are remarkably easy: a cheese and olivequick bread, a three-star chef’s Basque potato tortilla made with asurprise ingredient (potato chips), and an utterly satisfying roastchicken for “lazy people.”　　Packed with lively stories, memories, and insider tips on Frenchculinary customs, Around My French Table will make cooks fall inlove with France all over again, or for the first time.
