★ 法國廚房裡的「英倫艾蜜莉」親自示範120道小小廚房裡就能烹調的美味法式佳餚
「法式料理」是繁複費工、高層次廚藝的代名詞？本書作者Rachel Khoo要徹底顛覆這個刻版印象！
英倫可人兒Rachel，在這本《Little Paris Kitchen》，帶來一般人家小廚房就能完美呈現的120道法式料理食譜，從日常簡易的法式蛋捲、夏日野餐輕食，到聚會人氣料理檸檬烤雞，紅酒燉牛肉、烤布蕾、翻轉蘋果塔…讓讀者不用到米其林餐廳，在家就能獲得身心飽足。
Rachel畢業於倫敦中央聖馬汀藝術設計學院，曾從事高級品牌服裝行銷公關。因熱愛法式蛋糕，促使她到法國藍帶餐飲學院鑽研廚藝，至今仍定居巴黎，同時在BBC推出烹飪節目《Little Paris Kitchen》。深諳法式料理的Rachel在大受歡迎的節目及這本同名著作裡強調，不是只有技術高超的廚師才能做出一桌美味的法式料理，她引領讀者依循簡單步驟，在自家小小廚房烹煮一道道幸福料理 (Rachel的廚房就很迷你)。
Rachel的筆觸相當親切口語，文中不時穿插她在巴黎的見聞、童年記憶與日常生活觀察，還附上法式料理美味小秘方或小常識，例如製作鮮奶油焦糖時，不能用湯匙攪動加熱中的焦糖，只能讓焦糖延著鍋子翻動，否則焦糖會凝固結晶。
《Little Paris Kitchen》帶給讀者的愉悅感不同於其它食譜，不只因為書裡的溫暖繽紛內頁、新鮮食材圖像、誘人的美食及餐具照、可愛手繪小圖 (Rachel親筆畫作)、美女主廚身影 (Rachel本人) 讓人大飽眼福，她充滿玩心與巧思的料理食譜，讓世界各個角落的小小廚房都能飄散出法式迷人香氣 (文/巧比非爾)。
Rachel Khoo serves up a modern twist on classic French cooking
Rachel Khoo was determined to get to grips with French cooking, so to learn more she moved to Paris, not speaking a word of French, and enrolled at Le Cordon Bleu, the world-famous cookery school. Six years later, she still lives and works in Paris, cooking up a selection of classic French dishes from all over the country and giving them a fresh makeover with her own modern twists. From a Croque Madame muffin and the classic Boeuf bourguignon, to a deliciously fragrant Provencal lavender and lemon roast chicken, Rachel celebrates the culinary landscape of France as it is today and shows how simple these dishes are.
The 120 recipes in the book range from easy, everyday dishes like Omelette Piperade, to summer picnics by the Seine and afternoon 'gouter' (snacks), to meals with friends and delicious desserts including classics like Creme brulee and Tarte tatin. It's a book that celebrates the very best of French home-cooking in a modern and accessible way. Real French food is no longer something only served in fancy restaurants; Rachel will show how you can add a little French culinary touch to your everyday life at home, no matter where you are in the world, or how big your kitchen is!
Living and cooking in Paris, Rachel is the British Amelie of the kitchen. A graduate of Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, her passion for patisserie lured her to Paris, where she obtained a pastry diploma. She then put her skills to use at the delightful Paris culinary bookstore and tea salon, La Cocotte, where she catered for book launches and hosted cookery classes. Working as a freelancer, she now travels the world working on a variety of projects, from workshops to catering for huge blue-chip client events to smaller, intimate pop-up restaurants. She is also running 'La petite cuisine a Paris' (Paris' smallest underground restaurant) from her tiny kitchen.
