Dinner Chez Moi
Dinner Chez Moi: 50 French Secrets to Joyful Eating and Entertaining | Elizabeth Bard
5 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
Tips, tricks and recipes to make your feasts and fetes more French, from the New York Times bestselling author of Lunch in Paris and Picnic in Provence When Elizabeth Bard, a New Yorker raised on Twizzlers and instant mac and cheese, fell for a handsome Frenchman and moved to Paris, she discovered a whole new world of culinary delights. First in Paris, then in a tiny village in Provence, Elizabeth explored the markets, incorporating new ingredients and rituals into her everyday meals and routines. After 15 years of cooking in her own French kitchen, making French friends--and observing her slim and elegant French mother-in-law--Elizabeth has gathered a treasure trove of information that has radically changed her own eating habits for the better. She realized that what most Americans call "dieting"--smaller portions, no snacking, a preference for seasonal fruits and vegetables, and limited sugar--the French simply call "eating." And they do it with pleasure, gusto, and flair. With wit, sound advice, and easy-to-follow recipes, Bard lets her readers in on a range of delightful--and useful--French secrets to eating and living well, including hunger as the new foreplay, the top five essential French cooking tools and 15 minute meals popular throughout France, and the concept of benevolent dictatorship: why French kids eat veggies, and how to get yours to eat them, too. Whether you're ready for a complete kitchen transformation or simply looking for dinner party inspiration, Dinner Chez Moi is a fun, practical, and charming how-to guide that will add a dash of joie de vivre to your kitchen--and your life!

My #5fordinner guests (clockwise from top left):

🍴Helene Hanff—to talk books with!
🍴Daphne du Maurier—maybe she'll divulge the name of the second Mrs. DeWinter. 😄
🍴Louise Fitzhugh—to tell her how much I love Harriet the Spy. 🔎
🍴Elizabeth Goudge—The Little White Horse is one of my very favorite books.
🍴Marguerite Henry—with Misty, of course! (I'll serve hay!)

Hubby is working late, so I'm hanging out in the sunshine. I now want some cheese and a baguette and a bowl of soup and a salad and some crepes and cake. There is so much yummy in this book.
