Classic French recipes are tasty, but the lengthy list of ingredients and arcane techniques discourage people from making them at home. Hence, Cordon Bleu-trained cooking teacher Richard Grausman decided to amalgamate 250 French recipes into a cookbook after tweaking them to suit the needs of the 21st century.
Grausman's cookbook named, 'French Classics Made Easy' makes French recipes quicker to prepare at home without using too much butter and cream. Priced at USD 16.95, the cookbook promises French recipes like soufflés in ten minutes and modern bouillabaisse or a lighter, simpler cassoulet within record time. Other classic French recipes featuring in the cookbook are quiche Lorraine, coq au vin, gratin dauphinois and chocolate-coated French cookies.
