Reviews for Plat du Jour: French Dinners Made Easy

"""Plenty of alluring plates of food for cold months are what the cooking teacher Susan Herrmann Loomis, who is based in France, provides in her new book, Plat du Jour. The seasonally focused recipes are mostly center-of-the-plate fare, including chicken braised in wine with leeks and cream, scallops with celery root purée, classic beef bourguignon, Basque lamb and sweet pepper stew, and even some vegetable showstoppers like potato and chive soufflé, and endive and leek gratin."" -- Florence Fabricant - The New York Times ""With its extensive range of mouthwatering French classics (a godsend during the worst winter months of lockdown), Plat du Jour quickly won me over. It strikes the right balance between history and explanation, has useful guides to crucial French ingredients, and includes a broad array of French fare, from the windswept Breton coast to the snow-peaked Basque mountains. The recipes are thoroughly researched and each comes with a boxout of helpful tips... this book delivers results."" -- Tomé Morrissy-Swan - The Telegraph"
