French Taste: Elegant Everyday Eating

• 

  Barbara Jones Warrick

  Tasty Reading

  Reading Laura Calder's FRENCH TASTE is like visiting with a close friend over a steaming cup of cafe au lait with fresh croissants. Her conversational style of writing brings you right into the kitchen and her no-nonsense approach to cooking will get you out and to the table with your guests in no time. There's lots of food gossip too; such as her comments to enjoy the richness of full fat cream and forget the calories and the notion that one type of hors d'oevre with cocktails is sufficient (two or three at the most). The recipes in FRENCH TASTE promise the deliciousness of slow food, the ambiance of fine dining with friends and a lot less work than many other cook books or cooking approaches are offering these days. Bon apetite!
