Independent Journalism in Dallas Needs You
We need to raise $12,500 by August 9 to support the reporting our community depends on. Reader support keeps us independent and is playing a larger role in funding local journalism and shaping what comes next. If you believe independent local journalism matters, make a contribution today.
Patrick Esquerre’s new cookbook, written in collaboration with his mother, Monique, is a collection of the recipes behind La Madeleine’s bakery and cafe. When Patrick Esquerre started serving food at La Madeleine, he used his mother’s expertise (she had written a successful French cookbook) as the basis for a lot of the cafe’s specialties. So here are the recipes from his youth, from his mother, and from his country home. More interesting than the recipes are the stories behind them–such as tales of Patrick’s childhood in the Loire Valley. The book is published independently by La Madeleine and is available in local bookstores and at Stanley Korshak.
From a French Country Kitchen, Monique Esquerre and Patrick Esquerre.
