Information on shopping and stocking your pantry, helpful tips on having people over, and stories on French food culture make this not just a recipe-driven cookbook but also a chic guide to French living. In a photo-rich package that features aspirational photography from Paris and Provence-charming apartments overlooking the rooftops of Paris, picnics along the Seine, Provencal markets overflowing with fresh produce-A Table is an inviting and accessible cookbook from a fresh voice in the food world. MAKES HIGHBROW CUISINE ACCESSIBLE: French cuisine is traditionally seen as highbrow, technical, and intimidating. This book breaks down those barriers and presents a collection of approachable recipes that reflect how French people cook at home today.
