Clotilde is a French food writer, based in Paris, who writes in both French and English. Her focus is on fresh, colorful and seasonal foods, with an eye on nutrition. She started Chocolate & Zucchini in 2003, which led to a book deal (Chocolate & Zucchini: Daily Adventures in a Parisian Kitchen, 2007) and then another (Clotilde's Edible Adventures in Paris, 2009). Today she pens food and travel articles for magazines and websites, writes and edits cookbooks and works as a recipe developer, public speaker and food-trend consultant.
The French Market Cookbook--a vegetable driven take on French cuisine--has received wide press and praise, both in print (The Washington Post, the Wall Street Journal, the Associated Press, Food & Wine, Le Monde, France Magazine, Shape, Edible Manhattan, etc.) and online (PublishersWeekly.com, Saveur.com, Oprah.com, DailyCandy.com, SeriousEats.com). For links to reviews of this book and Clotilde's previous titles, click here. While she's not a vegetarian, Clotilde has chosen to eat less meat and fish...and is always looking for new ways to cook what looks best at the market. The book has 90 recipes organized by season, 70 gorgeous full-color photos and lots of charming stories about shopping and cooking in France.
New York-based chef Dan Barber, a leader in the sustainability movement, says ''Food blogger doesn't do Clotilde justice. True, she's amassed a cult following with her pioneering website, but she's also a journalist with her finger on the pulse of Parisian culture--and an expert and wholly original cook. The French Market Cookbook is a triumph of all Dusoulier brings to the table, as enlightened and joyous as the woman behind it."

I'm a long time admirer of Clotilde (as well as a Francophile who actually takes Edible Adventures in Paris with me when I am lucky enough to go to France), and I would love to have a copy of the French Market cookbook.

I would love a book to improve my cooking .I admire french cuisine! Ioana ih7525@yahoo.ca
ReplyDeleteI hope some day Clotilde will publish a vegan book of french cuisine. That would really be awesome but until that day, I'm happy to see this vegetarian book and will be sure to check it out. I have no doubt the recipes will taste absolutely wonderful even if I have to modify them to vegan as I already do with Chocolat & Zucchini with beautiful results.

Fresh fruits and veggies prepared with French flair and finesse: that's what I'm anticipating in Clothilde's book after seeing all the delicious reviews! I would love a copy of her cookbook so vegetarian dishes with a certain "je ne sais quoi" can play a starring role in our meals alongside the meat entrees. Thanks for this opportunity, Julie, et merci de penser a nous vegetariennes, Clothilde ! :-) Heidi
