Everyday French Cooking Is Now Available

The new edition of my French cookbook has been released! This revised second edition of The Bonne Femme Cookbook is now titled Everyday French Cooking (for a more straightforward appeal!). And it’s better than ever. After all — it has photos!

For this new edition, I had to axe some recipes to make room for the photos. So, I scrupulously pared down the recipe list to only include only recipes that were truly everyday in nature — recipes French home cooks (who are just as busy as we are) would truly prepare any night of the week, whether feeding the family on a Tuesday night or casually entertaining friends on the weekend. And I added a few more fresh, contemporary, and simple recipes I’ve discovered since the first edition was published. Best of all, the new book has photos — dozens of great photos that I hope will further inspire you to bring a slice of France to your table.

How about a peek at some of the photos? Here are some of my favorite pictures:

Pizza Bergère

If you’ve ever had pizza in France, you’ll recognize this one!

Soupe au Pistou

The quintessential South-of-France soup of vegetables and French pesto.

Roasted Salmon with Pernod Sauce

Likely one of my favorite recipes in the book.

Gratin Dauphinois

My version doesn’t take all day. None of my recipes do!

Chocolate Pot-de-Crème

Easier than crème brûlée, more decadent than crème caramel, because …. chocolate.

I’m pretty excited about this paperback edition, which is now available. While you can get it on Amazon, I’m all for supporting your local bookstore. Go ask ‘em if the have it — and if they don’t, ask them why not! 😁 I’m sure they’ll be glad to get it for you.

And thanks for your interest!
