Grandma first opened the pages of Corine Gantz'Hidden in Paris -- The Cookbookin her Kindle for Mac app and must note that while the book is very nicely done in small, it is gorgeous on the big screen!  Each of the recipes is accompanied by a bit of text from Corrine'sHidden in Paris, a stunning photograph of Paris, and another of the recipe. (Corrine did her own food photography!)Corrine gained my approval the very second she wrote: "Since, like yourself, I have things to do, places to go, children to raise, and I'm not in the business of cooking, I favor one pot dishes; recipes prepared in fifteen minutes that I can walk away from and come back to find ready to serve an hour later. I want comfort and nutrition for the least amount of time and an even smaller amount of dirty dishes."  We share a very similar food philosophy.The recipe selection is small, just 19 recipes, but well chosen.  Most of them Grandma will have to cut in half, but her Soufflé au Fromage is already just half of Grandma's.  Since I live in Vermont, the fromage of choice is Vermont Cheddar, the sharper the better, and it makes a dynamite souffle.  Corrine has also convinced me to give Salad Nioise a try.  Julia's version, with everything drenched in vinaigrette separately, has somehow just always been a huge turn-off.You'll find a very nicely done Table of Contents that interfaces correctly with the Kindle Navigation Menus along with a few extras - a synopsis of the book (now on Grandma's Wish List), a link to Corrine's blog and more.Kudos, Corrine, for a very well done book.  How much are tickets to Paris?Highly Recommended!
