★ “French from the Market is a seductive cookbook that will convert readers into Francophiles and inspire almost everyone else to start composing menus and market lists.” —Foreword Reviews, Starred Review This newest cookbook from Hillary Davis focuses on the best of traditional French cooking—provincial cuisine based on produce and foods fresh from the market, simply prepared, and delicious for everyday dining at home.
Hillary Davis shows us in French from the Market that French food isn’t always haute cuisine. Traditional, daily French cooking is provincial and farm-driven. It is also an art, that uses the freshest and finest ingredients available from gardens, markets, and local vendors to put nourishing meals on the table. And, as Davis point out, French home cooking is not hard.
Hardcover 224pgs Cooking / Regional & Ethnic / French Hillary Davis is a the author of Le French Oven, French Comfort Food, Cuisine Niçoiose, and the critically acclaimed A Million A Minute.
What Our Customers Say
"Vivront treats sharpening as a craft. I've seen them reshape broken knives and fix damage done by pull sharpeners first hand. The knives look like new and cut even better. The mail-in turnaround is only 2–3 days door-to-door. We barely even notice the knives are gone and they're back, perfectly sharp."
"There isn't a better knife shop in town. Period. Joseph is a highly skilled sharpener, he got our Global knives back to new in one day. Lots of local chefs bring their knives to Vivront. It's clear they trust Joseph and his team."
"As a professional chef, I've sought out some of the most revered knife shops in the world. The care of knives, both at home and in a professional kitchen — makes cooking infinitely more enjoyable. We regularly rely on Vivront's sharpening to rescue damaged blades or knives that suffered through grocery store drop-off systems."
"I walked in to get my favorite knife sharpened and emerged with a practically new knife and an additional new knife that has become my favorite. I have never had a knife returned to me as sharp as the one Vivront sent home."
"The gentleman showed me several options and I got to chop up a carrot with each of them to see which one I liked. He also showed me how to use the sharpening tool that comes with a typical knife block. It was a very enjoyable experience."
"I especially appreciate that you can get 'fitted' to a knife so you know you'll enjoy using it before you buy it. The knife selection is unmatched in the Twin Cities. Vivront treats sharpening as a craft."
"They turned around my 8 knives in just under 2 hours. The store is really fun to walk around, they have carrots out to test any of their knives. I will be back."
"Brought in 2 knives to get sharpened and was educated that one was actually plenty sharp, just needed honing. The other needed a repair and they did it while I waited. I left with sharp knives, a new honing tool, and even more knowledge about how to care for them."
