My new all-time favorite cookbook by a 27-year-old Parisian with the wonderful name Clothilde. Reading her notes and recipes is like standing in the kitchen chatting with your best friend. She tells story after story from her very real-sounding life in Paris and her prose lacks the snub artificiality of her celebrity chef counterparts. No, Clotilde is just a regular old gal who happens to love food and cooking. She also has a great sense of humor. As for the recipes, they are fantastic with top Moser family favorites so far being the zucchini fig crumble and the roasted red pepper tart. I have also made the yoghurt cake, an onion quiche and a tarte tatin of tomatoes, all of which I can warmly recommend. This is French cooking for a younger generation, light and innard free!
