Reviews for French Comfort Food
4 ratings1 review
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This cover of "French Comfort Food" caught my eye at the library. Isn't it pretty? I'm willing to try new foods and recipes so I was excited to give this one a go. Two favorites here, French and comfort foods but I have a few requirements for cookbooks before I buy..more on that in a minute.I tried at least a dozen recipes. Main dishes and desserts. I didn't mind the occasional substitutions (e.g. pre-packaged puff pastry) and the departure from the everyday was more than welcome.Favorites were Page 51: Individual Caramelized Onion and Roquefort Clafoutis.Page 67: Irresistible Potato, Cheese, and Cream Casserole.Page 68: Tart Apple TurnoversPage 81: Crispy Cinnamon Walnut Chocolate PalmiersPage 129: Potato, Bacon, Cheese, and Wine CasseroleAnd the soups were incredible. Photographs and recipe outline are a big thing for me. A cookbook can hold great photos but contain a lousy recipe layout, or vice versa. I, personally, am a stickler about both. Hillary Davis accomplished an easily navigated reading format, excellent recipes, and beautiful photos (of which, could have been more, but not at the loss of recipes). I was so impressed I bought the book in a hardcopy. Its quite beautiful.
