À Table: Recipes for Cooking and Eating the French Way is an alluring, delicious invitation to the French table from Paris-based American food writer and stylist—and frequent New York Times contributor—Rebekah Peppler. It is both a repertoire-building cookbook and a stylish guide that will make readers feel as though they are traveling through France with a close friend.

Peppler shares 125 elegant recipes that reflect a modern, multicultural French table. With approachable recipes, a conversational tone, and aspirational photography, À Table contains secrets for cooking easy, sophisticated meals, and recreating the everyday magic and charm of French life anywhere in the world.

ACCESSIBLE FRENCH COOKBOOK: Included are classics such as Ratatouille and Crème Brûlée; regional dishes like Basque Chicken, Niçoise (for a Crowd), and Alsatian Cheesecake; as well as recipes born of the melding of the cultures and flavors that help define contemporary French eating, from Bigger Bánh Mì and Lamb Tagine to Green Shakshuka.

USEFUL ADVICE: Guidance on shopping, stocking the pantry, and preparing the table—plus stories on French food culture—make this not just a recipe-driven cookbook but also a lovely guide to modern French living.

FOREVER CHIC: French cooking and the French lifestyle will never go out of fashion. À Table offers a window into an enviable way of life and is filled with inspiring, useful tips—perfect for Francophiles and anyone who likes to cook good food to share with friends and family.
