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.

Mediocre French Cookbook

A mediocre French cook book

Wonderful cook book

Wonderful cook book! While some of the recipes take a lot of time, the ingredients are, for the most part, simple. The instructions are, too! I'm not a great fan of fussy French cooking, so this is on track to become one of my favourite cookbooks. It's down-to-earth in its approach, and the recipes I've made (and tasted) are absolutely amazing. They're so good, I'm thinking of cooking them for myself alone!

Delicious!

Reviewed in Germany on 3 October 2010

I love Dorie Greenspan's book "Baking from my home to yours" and have already tried many recipes. All gave perfect results. So I was looking forward to her new book "Around my french table". And when I first opened it, I saw that she starts with one of my favorite recipes: Gougeres. These small cheese balls are the perfect accompanyment to a good glass of wine. And so easy to make! If you were of the opinion, that French Cuisine is complicated, this book will show you that this prejudice is not true. The recipes in this book are easy to make and you will find the ingredients in most American and European markets and supermarkets.
Although my native language is German, I had no problems reading and understanding the recipes. And I like it, that the author mixes in some French words here and there.

comment on content of the cook book

Reviewed in Canada on 26 August 2015

The best cooking book I have ever bought. It is worth every single penny of it price. The recipes are so simple but very delicious, and very light. However, it does require some cooking technique for a fair amount of the recipes. It is worth spending time to read thru Dorie's page(s) long description of the cooking technique required to get the perfect result.

One of the best cooking books I own

Reviewed in Canada on 27 November 2015

One of the best cooking books I own! Every single thing I tried came out really well. The recipes are clear and concise and the anecdotes that accompany them are delightful. There were a lot of helpful suggestions and variations of the recipes.

another bonus is that the dishes are not soaked in butter and can be a part of a healthy diet. The ingredients for recipes are usually something that most cooks have in their pantry/fridge and/or easily accessible in North American stores.

Will be buying this book as a gift for my cooking friends.
