As soon as you say French cooking, you hear the collective sigh meaning it must be complicated and labour intensive. Author Mardi Michels (eat.live.travel.write) is here to show you that French dishes don’t have to be out of your reach. In her debut and wildly successful book, In the French Kitchen with Kids, Mardi dispels the myth and inspires everyone, including kids, to produce amazing food that many shy away from. This book is the next chapter in the cooking with kids series.
Mardi is a schoolteacher in Toronto having circumnavigated the globe to get there…born in Australia and having worked in Hong Kong, England and France. She now intertwines her love of cooking with teaching children to begin exploring the culinary world…what a great skill to impart to the next generation!
Along with writing culinary contributions to the likes of Jamie Oliver and others, Mardi writes a blog of her love of food and travel…check it out at https://www.eatlivetravelwrite.com/ With her husband Neil, a butcher and wine connoisseur, follow their experiences that will inspire you to try new foods and explore interesting places.
