Instant breaks down the new French classics with 150 recipes that

Just as Julia Child brought French cooking to twentieth-century America,
so now Melissa Clark brings French cooking into the twenty-first
century. She first fell in love with France and French food as a child;
her parents spent their August vacations traversing the country in
search of the best meals with Melissa and her sister in tow. Near to her
heart, France is where Melissa's family learned to cook and eat. And as
her own culinary identity blossomed, so too did her understanding of why
French food is beloved by Americans.
Now, as one of the nation's favorite cookbook authors and food writers,
Melissa updates classic French techniques and dishes to reflect how we
cook, shop, and eat today. With recipes such as Salade Nicoise with
Haricot Vert, Cornmeal and Harissa Soufflé, Scalloped Potato Gratin,
Lamb Shank Cassoulet, Ratatouille Sheet-Pan Chicken, Campari Olive Oil
Cake, and Apricot Tarte Tatin (to name a few), Dinner in French will
quickly become a go-to resource and endure as an indispensable classic.
