French food is generally considered the backbone of many cuisines across the Western world. But cooking French food in a traditional manner is much more complicated…
Award-winning food writer and born-and-raised Parisian Clotilde Dusoulier is here to show you the ropes.
The mastermind behind the food blog Chocolate & Zucchini and the author of several acclaimed cookbooks, Dusoulier invites all cooks (in all levels!) inside her kitchen.
“My signature style is this: simple, approachable recipes with a creative twist that will make you want to rush into the kitchen and try them out on your friends and family,” writes Dusoulier on her website.
“I am French, so my cooking is influenced by this amazing culinary heritage,” she explains, “and I live in Paris, which gives me lots of opportunities to give you an insider’s look at the vibrant food scene, the wonderful food shops lining the market streets around me, and the brilliant chefs who exercise their craft in my favorite restaurants.”
Her recipes include anything from starters to mouth watering desserts, with the promise to demystify—as well as simplify—French cooking. “My ambition is not just to share recipes,” she writes, “it’s to teach and inspire, so you can grow as a cook, develop your repertoire, and eventually learn to cook without recipes at all. I am not just passionate about food and cooking: I am also fascinated by the stories behind the food, and you’ll see my posts are full of those, too.”
Her blog might be the closest thing to dining in Paris, at least for now.
