Publisher's Synopsis
When it comes to classic technique, flawless flavors, and mastery over butter, nobody does it better than the French. It's worth traveling to the land of the baguettes at least once in your life, but until you book that plane ticket, these classic French recipes will be here to curb any cravings. Cooking them yourself can be a lot easier than you think.
This book will make you want to pack your bags and go. However, you will be content and happy to light candles, put on some French music, and maybe even pour yourself a glass of your favorite wine to enjoy any of all the recipes that we kindly propose here. In addition, French people like to sip on cocktails prior to serving their meals. You can do it as you are cooking, or just gathering with your guests in the living room. It is called Apéritif. Many different drinks are appropriate to be served during that aperitif time: Pastis, Grand Marnier, Calvados, Chambord, Kir, Benedictine, or absinthe. Research and find the one you prefer and adapt it for your French-themed dinners.
