Mastering the Art of French Cooking meets Dinner in French in a beautifully photographed, fresh approach to French cooking and gathering, with 125 simple recipes. À Table: Recipes for Cooking and Eating the French Way is an alluring, delicious invitation to the French table from Paris-based American food writer and stylist—and frequent New York Times contributor—Rebekah Peppler. It is both a repertoire-building cookbook and a stylish guide that will make readers feel as though they are traveling through France with a close friend. Peppler shares 125 elegant recipes that reflect a modern, multicultural French table. With approachable recipes, a conversational tone, and aspirational photography, À Table contains secrets for cooking easy, sophisticated meals, and recreating the everyday magic and charm of French life anywhere in the world. ACCESSIBLE FRENCH COOKBOOK: Included are classics such as Ratatouille and Crème Brûlée; regional dishes like Basque Chicken, Niçoise (for a Crowd), and Alsatian Cheesecake; as well as recipes born of the melding of the cultures and flavors that help define contemporary French eating, from Bigger Bánh Mì and Lamb Tagine to Green Shakshuka. USEFUL ADVICE: Guidance on shopping, stocking the pantry, and preparing the table—plus stories on French food culture—make this not just a recipe-driven cookbook but also a lovely guide to modern French living. FOREVER CHIC: French cooking and the French lifestyle will never go out of fashion.

    • Wow factor food without complicated recipes or exotic ingredients!
Review Image by Pfutah Pfutah
Words cannot express how much I love this cookbook! I am not a fancy French cook, so was a bit worried that the recipes would be too complicated or the ingredients would be impossible to find. Definitely not the case! I’ve had this cookbook for about a week and I’ve made at least 10 recipes plus quite a few cocktails. I even had a small gathering and cooked exclusively from this book. My friends loved it and have also ordered it! This is completely approachable, with easy to find (or substitute) ingredients, many of which you probably have on hand. The author also gives tips on how repurposing sauces, dressings & leftovers so you aren’t left with a mystery jar in the fridge. And many of the recipes have similar ingredients so you won’t have a mostly full jar of spice gathering dust in the cabinet. The writing is witty and totally inspiring! The pictures will motivate you! Many of these recipes can be made in advance, which is perfect for entertaining. I made the carrot tatin pictured above (I promise, I didn’t decimate the carrots, I used rainbow carrots so the purple ones look charred :)) in the morning and it still looked and tasted great several hours later when my guests arrived. Highly recommend! ... show more

Review Image by RSY RSY
From start to finish, this STUNNING and ELEGANT cookbook displays incredible creative mastery that has beauty, romance and magic layered throughout the pages from start to finish. This book makes you DREAM and gets you excited about the new world that awaits: a world in which we can all gather around a table again, rub elbows with friends and family, eat gorgeous things out of communal dishes, sip on wine for hours and linger on into the night. I'm completely in awe of the stellar aesthetics and impeccable photography, the food styling (done by the author herself!), witty language, the play with shadows and the presence of the female form throughout the book. What I most appreciate is the accurate and vibrant reflection of what modern day Paris looks like around the table (not only classic French, but also gives a fair platform to the myriad of influences (Middle Eastern, Asian, etc) that have made their way into the palates of the French. Each recipe has a "remarque," Rebekah's clever way to introduce a bit of historical context for each cocktail or dish while also adding a personal (and usually hilarious) personal anecdote. Excellent book to have around if you like to entertain and want to add that je ne sais quoi feel and magic into your days and nights! Recommend 100000%. ... show more

    • Don't even hesitate—add to cart immediately!
I had high hopes for this book and it did not disappoint. In fact, it managed to exceed my already lofty expectations. My husband and I have frequently turned to Rebekah Peppler's previous hit, Apéritif, not just for its stellar (lower ABV) cocktails, but for all of the salty, snacky companion recipes. I had no doubt the recipes in À Table would hold up; what I didn't expect was just how much I'd be swept away by the gorgeous photography (another Joann Pai hit) and LOL-inducing (and very thoughtful) commentary. Maybe it's living under lockdown for the majority of the last year, but I read this book cover-to-cover in a single sitting the day I received it, letting myself dream of the days we can freely travel and enjoy the company of others safely again. In the meantime, you can cook and entertain your way through unfussy, approachable Paris life through À Table. ... show more

Review Image by Eric DiCianno Eric DiCianno
I LOVE this cook book. I lived in France when I was younger just out of college. We had our sailboat in St Maxime and I had a French boyfriend from Brive la Gaillard (lived there too). That experience changed my entire life. I miss France dearly every day. This cook book has hand selected the perfect recipes to showcase life in France. From aperitif to dessert, Rules included, my favourite part. The thing l learned in France was that the rules of gastronomy are the most important. They are the way to experience life. It has been developed over centuries and they, in my opinion and probably the French as well believe it is perfect. I think this book reflects this in a kind and simple way doesn’t intimidate. Right down to the photography. She has done a wonderful job of capturing la vie en France. I am an avid cook and I look forward to making all the creations and reliving my time abroad. 😭😭😭🍷🍷💋 ... show more

    • You will keep using this book
There are not a million recipes, thank god. Just delicious ones that are as full of variety as they are preparation required. Also, she is just amazing. You will want to hang out with her after one paragraph.

    • A magical addition to your cookbook collection!
This cookbook both inspired, and satisfied, my wanderlust for France! Rebekah's voice invokes beautiful imagery (and the photos are gorgeous, too!), and is so welcoming that just read to this made me feel like I was joining in on her wonderful dinner parties. Every recipe I've tried - both food and drinks - has been a smash hit so far! The recipes are simple and approachable, and the flavors SO delicious, and comforting. I lived in France for a time, and often miss the ambiance of mealtimes (and the food, of course!), and this book brings that feeling right into my home. I'm looking forward to throwing my dream dinner parties, with this book to guide me! ... show more
