Simple French Cookery

Carpe Kitchen! The door of the Peter Pauper vault has swung open to release our legendary old-school cookbooks…for your e-reader!


“French Cookery is French Witchery,” says Edna Beilenson, the author of this quirky 1950s cookbook. She invites you to delight in the magic of a scrumptious Tarte à I'Apricot or Quiche Lorraine. Bite into a piece of succulent Chicken Sauté Echalote or sip a glass of Pinot Noir with a Roast Duck à l’Orange. Say “adieu” to all your worries as you share a delicious slice of French Cheesecake with your significant other by candlelight. Try the Poire Maxim’s. Experience the enchantment of French cuisine once and for all with this vintage compilation of French recipes, pleasingly decorated by Ruth McCrea. Amusez-vous!


Your guests you will flatter, 

Your name you'll enhance, 

With these gourmet delights 

From the kitchens of France!
