Chez Rachel: Recepten Uit De Kleinste Keuken Van Parijs (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
I think it's a great collection of recipes regardless of their authenticity or provenance. So the book looks nice and the photography is attractive, ditto the author, yet Rachel Khoo demonstrates her training as a pastry chef very well in the way the recipes are explained. Not one recipe I have tried has disappointed me so far, this is due to the fact that unlike many food writers today, the recipes in this book have clearly been tried, tested and adapted to suit the home cook's ability and level of skill. The section at the back is fantastic if you need background knowledge on techniques, etc., something that is lacking in a lot of similar books these days. This is a decent enough cookbook. The recipes are relatively simple and the photography is gorgeous. The recipes we've tried have been successful, and Khoo lists alternative ingredients in many of the entries so you suit the food to your liking. It's not incredibly inspiring, though—I'm not running home from work to use it—and as cute as Rachel Khoo is, there may be a few too many photos of her strolling through Paris.
