Clotilde Dusoulier is a
young Parisian woman who adores sharing her love of all things
food-related - recipes, inspirations, restaurant experiences, and above all the
pleasure of cooking with the fresh ingredients found in her local Montmartre
shops. But her infatuation with food was born not in her mother's Parisian
kitchen, but in San Francisco, where she moved after college and discovered a
new world of tastes. When she returned to her beloved France, her culinary
exploits inspired her popular and critically acclaimed blog, ChocolateandZucchini.com.
In her first book, Clotilde provides a
glimpse into the life of a young Parisian as she savours all that the city has to
offer and shares her cooking philosophy in the form of more than 75 recipes that
call for healthy ingredients (such as zucchini) and more indulgent tastes (such
as chocolate). The Los Angeles Times calls her recipes "simple,
charming, and fun."
Clotilde arranges her book into three
sections.
- The first, Simplicite (Simplicity), includes salads, sandwiches,
savory tarts, soups and eggs.
- Part two is Invitation (Entertaining) and features
recipes for hors d'oeuvres, "impromptu" dinners like Hand-Cut Steak
Tartare, dinner party fare such as Comte Cheese Souffles, buffet items and
sides.
- The final portion concerns sweets, clearly Clotilde's favorite. With
scintillating recipes for cakes (Apricot and Pistachio Ricotta), tarts
(Blueberry Amandine), desserts (Chocolate Hibiscus Crème Brulee) and
"sweet bites" (Orange Flower Shuttle Cookies), this section brims with
innovation.
Appetizers such as Cumin Cheese Puffs, sandwiches and tarts like Tomato Tatin,
soups like Chestnut and Mushroom, main dishes including Mustard Chicken Stew,
and desserts like Chocolate and Caramel Tart can all be found alongside menus
for entertaining, as well as tips for throwing cocktail or dinner parties with
French flair.
Chocolate & Zucchini is the book for anyone who has
journeyed to Paris and can still recall the delicious flavors and aromas - or
for those of us who only dream about them
