La petite cuisine

Rachel Khoo is my latest obsession- her food, her vintage dresses, her tiny little Parisian apartment/restaurant (Rachel lives in Paris and has a tiny little restaurant in her apartment), I just can't get enough. I bought the book last summer and just after a quick flick I knew I was in for a treat. Croque-madames, îles flotants, madeleines and other French delights are all here with a fresh twist a la Khoo.  As she roams through the markets and to the local 'Boucherie's in her latest programme The Little Paris Kitchen, you can see that she loves everything about Paris and French cuisine. And quite frankly, I love everything about her.

Here are some of my favourite recipes from the book:

Madeleines with lemon curd
The classic French sponges made even more delicious with a dollop of lemon curd in the middle.

Cheese, pistachio and prune cake here


Boeuf Bourguignon with baguette dumplings here


and lastly here is a little picture of Rachel's smiley face, you can see how much she loves baking:
