Chocolate & Zucchini
Clotilde Dusoulier
The genesis of this book is rooted in the reverse of the classic California girl goes to France and falls in love with food story. This time the Parisian girl went to California. Her food affair begat a popular blog and now an absolutely enchanting book. Though diminutive, it is packed with pleasure: for the joy the author finds in her subject; for her tips for the contemporary cook; and finally, for the recipes, some of them seldom seen in other books (pasta cooked like risotto) and others that offer a new interpretation of standards (tomato and sardine club sandwich). Perhaps not so luscious as Nigella Lawson, Clotilde Dusoulier, nonetheless, brings the same sensibility to French food that Nigella has applied so successfully to British and Mediterranean food.
