I’m thinking of what to write about this wonderful new cookbook in Holly Herrick’s series, The French Cook. The very look of the cover entices me to open the pages and take a look. This particular book is all about soothing, comforting soups and stews.
Then I look inside the front cover and see that Libbie Summers did the food styling along with her talented photographer, Chia Chong. What a trio of talent to savor and enjoy as I snuggle down into my desk chair, taking in the beauty of the pictures, the perfection of the recipes….I’m getting hungry!
Holly Herrick is an uber talented, French Cordon Bleu trained chef who makes Charleston, South Carolina her home. She tirelessly tests each recipe before even thinking of including it in one of her fabulous cookbooks. The French Cook series includes three other books “Sauces“, “Souffles” and “Cream Puffs and Eclairs“. Each hard bound book is beautifully presented and filled with recipes you’ll include in your repertoire for entertaining as well as comforting family meals.
You can read more about Holly on her newly redesigned website: http://www.hollyherrick.com/. If you live in the Charleston area you’ll want to take a look at the calendar of events Holly features on her site. Her cooking classes are wonderful. I especially love the farmer’s market series of classes, hands on and full of information you’ll treasure!
I’m pleased to call Holly my friend! I know you’ll love these books if cooking is your “thing”. You’ll find the perfect recipes for a chilly winter evening….Soups & Stews…how delicious! As for me…I’m in my own little heaven, reading every recipe and feasting on the photographs! I believe I hear the recipe on page 100 for Oyster and Parsnip Bisque calling my name! Order your copy today! All of Holly’s books are available on Amazon and in fine bookstores. Get cooking!
