Cookbook giveaway – In a French Kitchen

In a French KitchenEven before Susan Herrmann Loomis wrote her now-classic memoir, On Rue Tatin, American readers have been compelled by books about the French’s ease with cooking. With In a French Kitchen, Loomis–an expat who long ago traded her American grocery store for a bustling French farmer’s market–demystifies in lively prose the seemingly effortless je ne sais quoi behind a simple French meal.

Loomis graciously provided us with a substantial excerpt from the book, and you can find details on her book tour in the EYB World Calendar of Cookbook Events.

We’re delighted to offer two copies of In a French Kitchen to EYB Members in the United States. One of the entry options is to answer the following question in the comments section of this blog post:

What traditional French dish do you most enjoy making?

Please note that you must be signed into the Rafflecopter contest before posting the comment or your entry won’t be counted. Entries from non-Members or from Members outside the US will be discarded. If you are not already a Member, you can join at no cost. The contest ends September 2, 2015.

    I love making croissants – not sure if they originated in France (I think so), but I love layering the butter/dough and rolling it and seeing it transform into the many-layered baked delicacy that results – it's a very rewarding recipe (done right!!).
