Synopsis
Hearty bistro fare such as crisp pommes frites paired with a sizzling pepper-coated steak. Rustic country dishes, including coq au vin and fragrant seafood stew. Decadent desserts such as crème brûlée and cherry clafoutis. These are the simple recipes that capture the essence of French cuisine.

Reviews
The latest installment in Williams-Sonoma’s collection of glossy cookbooks presents readers with more than 40 French recipes by food-writer and consultant Rossen-Worthington (The Taste of Summer, etc.). Classic bistro fare is the mainstay of this book; recipes lean toward familiar, well-loved dishes like Pommes Frites, Salade Nicoise, Carmelized Onion Tart, Soupe au Pistou, Sole Meuniere, Coq au Vin, Tarte Tatin and Creme Brulee. Numerous sidebars and make-ahead tips explain such necessary details as the difference between pesto and pistou and the secret to making a good souffle (a spotlessly clean bowl and a big balloon whisk). Clean design and mouth-watering photographs complement Rossen-Worthington’s step-by-step instructions, making this a solid reference volume for any kitchen.
