Jennifer Hill Booker Dinner Deja Vu

Annotation

The acclaimed chef and author of Field Peas to Foie Gras offers a unique approach to home cooking inspired by Southern and French cuisine. Chef Jennifer Hill Booker learned to cook Southern-style food before studying French cooking at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris. She noticed that rustic French and Southern dishes use many of the same ingredients, and that she could add flare to her favorite Southern dishes by using French techniques. In Dinner Deja Vu, Booker shares her own home cooking and meal planning secrets-including grocery lists and time-saving tips-showing readers how to take full advantage of the overlap between these different cooking styles. The recipes are paired to make grocery shopping simple and cost-effective, with certain recipes even using leftovers from the previous night's dinner.
