Les Marchés Francais

Eat Like the French

In France, the best way to start dinner is to consult the markets; there, all of the country’s flavors are at your fingertips, from the bright and clear coastal Mediterranean to the French Alps, and the Basque regions near Spain, without ever leaving your kitchen. Brian DeFehr used the markets as inspiration to create dishes like Pear, Chestnut, and Radicchio salad; Braised Quails with Brussels Sprouts and Horseradish; Cherry Tomato and Basil Clafoutis; Seared Duck Breast and Caramelized Fennel; Crème Brulée with Lavender Infusion, and more. All dishes are gluten-free, though you’d never even know it, and easily adapted to suit whatever seasonal produce is available where you are. Gorgeous photos pepper the whole book, making for a beautiful—and delicious—escape.
