In the French Kitchen with Kids by Mardi Michels
August 1, 2018 by JennyMardi Michels is the voice behind the website eat.
live. travel. write. Her debut cookbook, In the French
Kitchen with Kids: Easy, Everyday Dishes for the Whole Family to
Make and Enjoy was released yesterday, July 31st. Do not
let the title deter you – this is a book that cooks of any age will
appreciate.
Mardi teaches French language at an elementary school for boys in
Toronto in addition to cooking classes twice a week at Les Petits Chefs. Her natural ability as a
teacher and gift as a writer shines through brilliantly in the
pages of this beautifully photographed book.
The recipes include detailed instructions for all the French classics including Cream puffs, Eclairs, Cheese puffs (Gougères), Madeleines, Traditional macarons (Macarons à l’ancienne) and Financiers. There are plenty of savory dishes as well but as I write this I haven’t eaten lunch or dinner and the French pastries are taunting me. This is a “cookbook for parents, children, and Francophiles of all ages” and I am happy that it is on my bookshelf. It is the perfect gift for teachers, students, and everyone who loves to cook.
