Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Sweet potato biscuits with ham

    • Ducksinarose on March 09, 2026

      I cooked the sweet potatoes in the microwave for 4 to 5 minutes by poking the sweet potato first. These biscuits are so good! I want to make them again, adding some herbs such as green onions or rosemary, or adding some spices such as paprika or cinnamon.

  • Smokin' tortilla soup

    • lhkelsey on November 24, 2013

      This is a delicious easy chicken tortilla soup that only took about 30-45 minutes to make. Use less chipotles if too spicy.

  • Asparagus and avocado salad

    • Ducksinarose on September 18, 2022

      The pistachios work really well in this recipe

  • End of winter salad

    • Ducksinarose on November 28, 2022

      Very good! Used an Israeli couscous blend (harvest blend from Trader Joe’s) instead of barley because that’s what I had on hand and this was delicious. Will use barley next time.

  • Roasted okra and tomatoes

    • Ducksinarose on May 27, 2025

      Delicious and easy! The lime cilantro oil really makes this dish!

  • Lisa Is Cooking

    The recipes are either Texas-style food with French flair or homemade versions of French restaurant dishes. ... I especially enjoyed the tips or Double-Duty suggestions for recipes.

Publishers Text

Moving to Paris was the best bad decision that Texan Ellise Pierce ever made. Wooed to the city by a Frenchman, she soon found herself with just 100 euros in her bank account. So she launched a last-ditch effort to stay in the City of Light: She started her own catering business and began teaching other American expats how to re-create flavors from home. Using French ingredients and techniques from both sides of the Atlantic, she did more than found a culinary company--she created a unique style of cooking that's part Texas, part French, and all Cowgirl. Recipes include: Cornbread Madeleines, Jalapeno Pimento Cheese Tartines, Cauliflower Galettes with Chipotle Creme Fraiche, Green Chile-Goat Cheese Smashed Potatoes, and Peanut Butter-Chocolate Soufflees.
