Hilary Davis Livres

The historical evolution of Shelby Township, Michigan, highlights its transformation from a fertile farming community in the 19th century to a modern landscape dominated by automobile-related industries. Initially surveyed in 1818, the area became a thriving agricultural hub, notable for its role in the Underground Railroad and later as the residence of boxer Joe Louis. The township's development included the ill-fated Clinton and Kalamazoo Canal, and by the mid-20th century, the Packard Motor Car Company significantly altered its character, leading to the suburban and industrial growth observed today.

This newest cookbook from Hillary Davis focuses on the best of traditional French cooking - provincial cuisine based on produce and foods fresh from the market, simply prepared, and delicious for everyday dining at home. Hillary Davis shows us in French from the Market that French food isn't always haute cuisine. Traditional, daily French cooking is provincial and farm-driven. It is also an art, that uses the freshest and finest ingredients available from gardens, markets, and local vendors to put nourishing meals on the table. And, as Davis point out, French home cooking is not hard. The 100 plus recipes for starters, soups, salads, fish, poultry, meats, vegetables, and desserts in this cookbook, along with detailed instructions and tips, prove her right. Embrace at-home cooking, French style, with these market-fresh recipes: Arugula Salad over Watermelon with Herbed Goat Cheese; Weeknight Halibut in Basil Cream with Cherry Tomatoes; Autumn Harvest Chicken with Grapes, Apples, and Figs; Broiled Lamb Chops with Warm Potato and Herb Salad; Fluffy Cauliflower and Cheese Quiche; and Fruity, Frosty Cantaloupe Sorbet.
