While Rachel Khoo has a lovely story about her dream of becoming a French chef and how she got there, The Little Paris Kitchen is certainly heavier on the cook, and lighter on the book. Featuring 120 simple but classic recipes, Khoo provides us with options for everyday cooking, summer picnics, snacks, and other events that require tasty French treats.
But the two things that make her book stand out are that her recipes are easy to make in even the littlest Parisian kitchens, and her focus revolves heavily around immersing yourself in French culture. Included in her book is a French Basics section, which details cooking techniques, basic recipes, and even typical pantry items that are crucial to have on hand if, like Rachel, you also want to become a French chef.
