DO YOU WANT TO TEST RECIPES FOR MY BOOK?

October 24, 2019

If you’d like to test recipes for the book I am writing Le Kitchen Cookbook.
Here are links to some of the recipes.

Please don’t let the length of the recipes intimidate you. They may seem long, but that is only to ensure that everything is explained.

Egg, Bacon and Hash-brown Frittata—a one-pan breakfast

Oven-Roasted Tomatoes

Cauliflower Fennel Parmesan Soup

Soupe aux Poireaux pomme de terre—Leek and potato soup

Roast Pork Tenderloin with 3 Sauces

Chicken Stew

Creme Caramel

Roasted Potatoes and Carrots

Poulet a la Basque

Meatloaf

Here is a little reminder if you are testing a recipe:

Could you let me know:

Was it understandable?
Did I omit something?
Was it easy to follow?
Did the recipe turn out?
Is there anything you’d change?
Did you like it?
Would you make it again?

Again don’t let the length of the recipes scare you off. They only seem long, but that is only to ensure that everything is explained.

Before you start cooking, there are two steps you should take. I highly recommend that you:

Read the entire recipe before starting. Trust me, it makes cooking so much easier—I learned this the hard way.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve gotten halfway through a recipe to read “let it marinate overnight.” What! I’m making this for tonight, not tomorrow! And I’m left improvising the rest of the recipe.

Do what chef’s do before they start cooking. Get everything ready: all your utensils, tools, and ingredients measured, peeled, cut, and sliced. It is called mise en place, a French term meaning set in place. This step has actually made cooking easier.

Once all the ingredients are prepared and ready, I can start cooking without having to pause to prepare the next ingredients. And I don’t forget to include something because it is already waiting for me to include it.

You can answer the questions either in the comments or if you prefer you can email me at adeline@french-secrets.com.

One more thing: if you know anyone who you think would like to test a recipe, please send this on to them. The more the merrier.

Merci!

WHEN YOU ARE WRITING A BESTSELLER, IT TAKES A LITTLE TIME.

May 13, 2021 2 Comments

I’m almost at the end and all I seem do is stare into space. I’m going through the last, the very last part of editing—this is by far the hardest part of writing a book for me. I want to take a break, do something else for a few days. I’ve come so far and it’s only a few steps to the end—but it feels like I’m . . .

CRAVING DIFFERENT FLAVORS—NO RECIPE NEEDED

May 06, 2021 1 Comment

Last week I talked about RPA (Read, Prepare, Adjust) and how to adjust the flavors of the foods you are cooking to your liking. But what do you do when you want to make something with more exotic flavors? Mexican to celebrate Cinco de Mayo, or Chinese, maybe Indian, or a little Middle Eastern or Thai to change up...

WHAT IS RPA AND WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO COOKING?

April 29, 2021

Every recipe in my cookbook has the heading “READ, PREPARE, ADJUST.” RPA is the acronym. These three steps can make the difference between cooking with ease and creating really good meals as opposed to struggling to cook something without necessarily getting good results. There is nothing difficult or complicated . . .
