Doesn’t the cover of this cookbook look delicious?

In French Bistro, Maria Zihammou teaches us how to make restaurant quality French food at home. This is a type of cooking that can seem intimidating to those of us who do not have a culinary degree, but she breaks it down with simple instructions that are easy to follow.

The recipes use lots of fresh ingredients, as I expected. She also includes brief introductions to each recipe that add warmth and and give the reader insight into French food and culture. The photographs are absolutely stunning. This is the kind of cookbook that is fun to browse even when you’re not planning on cooking.

    I have to confess, French cuisine is one of the few I haven’t tried to learn how to cook very much of, but I’m very interested in learning it.

    This looks like a lovely cookbook. I’ve got Julia Child to thank for introducing me to French food, and I love bistro-style cooking. Thanks!
