We are pleased to share a promotion for our third EYBD Book, Just a French Guy Cooking: Easy Recipes and Kitchen Hacks for Rookies by Alexis Gabriel Ainouz, today on its publication day. 

Just a French Guy Cooking journals the cooking exploits of Alex who just wants us to have fun cooking. His wildly popular You Tube channel has nearly 800,000 subscribers mainly due to his endearing style and his passion for food. There are 90 of his favorite recipes in his wonderfully photographed debut book that will appeal to those wanting to learn how to cook and those, like myself, that appreciate another (youthful) approach to the classics. 

You will enjoy his enthusiam for teaching with sections entitled:  “French crepes, you can do this”, “Four ways to instantly upgrade ramen” or “12 dried herbs that will make you a chef”. Those portions of the book along with the countless hacks and tips sprinkled throughout make this title a delightful and informative cookbook. His spirit is contagious and I find myself nearly at midnight fighing the urge to head to the kitchen to make a crepe. 

The novice cook will find value in this highly accessible book as will the seasoned cook. I admit, even with decades of cooking experience (yikes), that I can appreciate a fresh approach to cooking the classics and learning new dishes that will become classics. Alex is a fountain of useful information. The author has a few events added to our calendar.

Our   will take you inside this title which takes a fun and approachable look at French cuisine. This preview highlights the following recipes in  :
