My French Secrets
‘You don’t need to be a chef to perform impressive feats in the kitchen. It’s just the art of mastering a few basics and learning to think like a French person; then, with the right ingredients, you can create amazing dishes in a short time.
Those recipes have been written throughout my life, my career, my travels; some of them are from my mum, my grandad. It’s my everyday food: what I think is enjoyable, healthy, naughty sometimes...
Good quality ingredients, added to some exercise, meditation, a lot of water and the right amount of wine: this is part of the secret.
The other secret of French food is that we take our time. We take the time to cook our food from scratch, take the time to walk, take the time to drink our wine and coffee… In other words, we take time to live.
This book will help you to stay healthy and slim while enjoying the food and wine you love. It is a bible for enjoyment, something that everybody could carry around in case they’re in need of inspiration for a last-minute dinner with friends, ideas for a weekly menu, a nice meal à deux or a delicious lunch just for yourself.
To help you learn how to feel good whilst indulging in all these pleasures, I will guide you through your daily routine, your organisation in the kitchen and pantry and even your shopping list.
So if you wish to keep an elegant silhouette without being frustrated and to eat what you like and drink wine, this book is just for you.
Enjoy!’
