Books for Cooks




'NOBODY DOES IT BETTER''........This somewhat arrogant title quite honsetly sounds like something your average Frenchman came up with when the culprit is in fact, Belfast-born, award-winning food journalist, Trish Deseine.
Given her years of culinary experience and her self-development as an Irish foodie in France, we have to take her word for it that well, maybe, nobody does it better!
Having studied her book, I must admit that for all lovers of French food, this one's a treat!
Trish, through a great collection of anecdotes, explains why French home cooking is still the best in the world....Traditional recipés are demystified, but what makes this one really different from other classiques is that modern trends in French cuisine, inspired by the traditions of Moroco, Tunisia, the Réunion Island and the French West Indies are also included, depicting a food culture that's open to ideas from elsewhere......perhaps that's why nobody does it better?

Salut - I'm adding this to books on French cooking I really should be reading. Many home cooks in France do indeed know how to whip up some good North African food. Here's my version of acouscous recipe. I'm sure you've had similar.
