Bistro

Experience the enduring pleasure of traditional French cooking with over 60 uncomplicated recipes for every home cook. French cookery is known to be one of the best in the world and, with so many of its dishes gaining a new wave of popularity, they are appearing time and time again on the menus of bustling bistros and fine dining restaurants. Yet, the one thing people often get wrong about this delicious cuisine, is that it's fussy and complicated, and can't be recreated at home. However, once you take a step back and take time to see what's actually combined wonderfully on the plate, you'll see that the ingredients, though good-quality and flavourful, are often fewer in number than you'd actually think. This is the beauty of French cooking - what basic ingredients you gather together, can be easily transformed into something tasty and utterly delightful to cook and eat. In Bistro, you'll find no shortage of classic, seasonal, and sumptuous dishes. From Appetizers and Soups to Meat and Seafood recipes, on to Salads and Sides right through to Desserts, there are gems to be found for everyone to enjoy. Start your dinner with a selection of Crudites, a Vegetable Bouillabaisse, or Tuna Carpaccio. Move on to marvellous and mouth-watering mains such as a buttery-lemon Sole Meuniere, a veggie Ratatouille, or a simple Steak and Frites. And if you have enough room for dessert, try a Vanilla Orange Souffle, a gorgeous Tarte Tatin, or some mini Petit Fours. For anyone who loves good food and wants to master the everyday and moreish recipes found at the heart of French cookery, Bistro will be your gentle guide to perfecting its traditional yet trouble-free dishes.
