Chez Manon: Simple Recipes From A French Home Kitchen (Manon Lagrève)

Chez Manon is a heartfelt book filled with Manon’s family recipes, as well as contemporary French meals that make entertaining effortless, whether it’s a brunch for two or lunch for a crowd.

The chapters are set out like a classic French menu, allowing you to mix and match according to what’s in season. Recipes include classics, such as Pistachio and Almond Croissants, Chicken and Prune Pie and Salmon en Croute, to the more modern Beetroot Tarte Tatin and Mozzarella, Nectarine and Hazelnut Salad. The desserts are lick-the-spoon-worthy affairs, such as the Chocolate and Pear Gâteau, Easy Homemade Profiteroles and Mamie’s Apple Tart.
