Description

In The French Market Cookbook, she takes us through the seasons in 82 recipes--and explores the love story between French cuisine and vegetables. Choosing what's ripe and in season means Julia does not rely heavily on the cheese, cream, and pastas that often overpopulate vegetarian recipes. Instead she lets the bright flavors of the vegetables shine through: carrots are lightly spiced with star anise and vanilla in a soup made with almond milk; tomatoes are jazzed up by mustard in a gorgeous tart; winter squash stars in golden Corsican turnovers; and luscious peaches bake in a cardamom-scented custard.
