This charming homage to French home cooking feeds that fantasy with a feast.<br><b>--Melissa Clark</b> <p/>"Clotilde Dusoulier's comfortable, homey food has just the right amount of authentic French flair, and her stories of life in Paris speak to food's universal ability to bring people together and make them happy. Of course, being transported to Paris never hurts either."<br><b>--Dave Lieberman</b> <p/> <br><b>Reviews for <i>The French Market Cookbook</i> </b> <p/>"Vegetable dishes at their brightest and most imaginative! Clotilde adds a touch of surprise to every recipe. Who needs beef in shepherd's pie when you can have lentils and broccoli? Not Clotilde . . . and now not moi."<br><b>--Dorie Greenspan</b> <p/>" 'Food blogger' doesn't do Clotilde Dusoulier justice. True, she's amassed a cult following with her pioneering website, but she's also a journalist with her finger on the pulse of Parisian culture--and an expert and wholly original cook. With its delicious, vegetable-driven take on French cuisine, <i>The French Market Cookbook</i> is a triumph of all Dusoulier brings to the table, as enlightened and joyous as the woman behind it."<br><b>--Dan Barber</b> <p/>"Coaxing out each ingredient's true, rich flavor remains the book's greatest triumph ... Dusoulier's refreshingly simple, yet comprehensive, manual urges that we go to the market to be surprised and seduced by the ingredients, to which we answer <i>oui</i>." <br><b> --Saveur.com</b> <p/>"We know the French have a way with butter, cheese and wine, but they're also supertalented with preparing green beans, eggplant and cabbage. And while healthy French food may sound like an oxymoron, Clotilde Dusoulier, who lives in Paris and writes the blog Chocolate and Zucchini, promises veggies don't have to be doused in cream or mixed with a pile of pasta to taste delicious."<br><b>- Oprah.com, The Best Cookbooks of Summer 2013</b> <p/>"If you can't make it to France this summer, The French Market Cookbook by Clotilde Dusoulier will teach your Union Square spoils to speak <i>francais</i>. No heavy white sauces or elaborate steps here, just regional, ingredient-driven, rustic-elegant fare ... Get the taste of jealousy out of your mouth with cherry-rose compote or peach clafoutis, ooh la la."<br><b>- Edible Manhattan</b> <p/>Vibrant photographs throughout highlight the textures, colors, and simplicity of Dusoulier's fare and will inspire readers to either cook or book a trip to France.<br><b>- Publishers Weekly</b><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Clotilde Dusoulier</b> is the thirtysomething Parisienne behind the award-winning food blog <i>Chocolate & Zucchini, </i> in which she shares her passion for all things edible.
