Gorgeous book! Have your very own bistro at home!
"I love bakeries, and bistros, and also anything Frenchy to eat. This is a gorgeous book and I had heart-eyes the entire time I read through it. There are a lot of great dishes and lovely back-stories to many of the dishes that the author and her family/friends grew up eating prepared by their mamans. Any of the recipes are surely able to transport you straight to their cafe in Brooklyn, a sunny sidewalk bistro somewhere in France, or the comfort you can find at home. I have some qualms, however. There are many recipes with croissants as the star ingredient, but there's not actually a recipe for croissants unless I totally missed it. Additionally, I tried my hand at the famous nutty cookies, following the instructions to a T. Not only were my cookies flat (From the accompanying photos, I'm guessing the cookies should be more mounded with the highest peak being 1" say), but they were still completely raw after I baked them for the maximum instructed amount of time. I don't usually have this problem, especially since I have a second oven thermometer. It took double the time to get them cooked. I'm willing to try more from the book, however, because it is just that inspiring and beautiful. I've received a free copy from Clarkson Potter in exchange for a free and unbiased review."
This rustic-chic style baking has stolen my heart!
"I love getting the opportunity to bake through reciepes for Bakeries! They always have some of the most drool worthy pasteries! My favorite part of cafe bakeries is always the baked goods! So far I have been enjoying baking through the cookie section. Although I've avoided the chocolate chip cookies due to the addition of nuts...I know, I'm sorry I'm one of those people..they look really good from the picture! The White Chocolate-pretzel cookies with that added pretzel crunch in the batter are my favorite so far! I love the French styling inside the cookbook, and the pictures make me drool. I start trying to plan a tea party everytime I flip through! "I've received a free copy from Clarkson Potter in exchange for a free and unbiased review. " If I lived anywhere near this cafe, it would definitely be one of my favorite places to visit. I'm a rustic-chic type of girl at heart, and I would definitely recomend this cookbook to anyone else who is too!"
Bakery & Cafe'
"I love bakery and cafe' cookbooks. They always have the best recipes. I think I'm going to make the bourbon-bacon jam as christmas gifts this year because it looks that good. The pumpkin-chair syrup looks like it would be a good gift too. I literally want to make every single one of those sandwiches in this cookbook. I can't wait to make the chouquettes. I have never heard of this dessert and I am looking forward to trying something new. This is a great little cookbook for brunches, breakfasts, soups, salads, sandwiches. I've received a free copy from Clarkson Potter in exchange for a free and unbiased review."
Beautiful book with interesting recipes
"I was not familiar with the business Maman when I received this book but i was immediately interested when I started flipping through the pages. The photographs are inspiring and the story of how it came to be was interesting as well. The first recipe that stuck out to me was the Pumpkin Maple Madeleines. Of course I didn't have the right pan but once it arrived I made them and they were easy and delicious. The book is split into sweet and savory breakfast items, quiches and savory tarts, sandwiches, salads and soups as well as other sweets and drinks. There are a number of syrup recipes to add to coffee or tea that look inspiring to make. Next on my agenda is the Pistachio Loaf Cake but I'm sure to add many others as I find time to read even more. This is a lovely book and I'm really pleased to add it to my collection. I know I'll be making quiche and sweets from it all fall and winter long. I've received a free copy from Clarkson Potter in exchange for a free and unbiased review."
Lots of recipes I want to try
"This is a lovely cookbook, written by the owners of the cafe/bakery named maman, which also celebrates French cafe culture and rustic chic design. There are so many recipes here that I want to try (I also have to make it to one of their locations!). I have prepared a few. I served Quiche Esther to my book club recently, and it was a huge hit. This quiche contains butternut squash and kale and is a great veggie option. At the same book club meeting I made Ashleigh's Carrot Cake for dessert. This may now be my go-to carrot cake recipe. It was enjoyed by all, and my friends asked me for the recipe. The photos in this book are wonderful - I always appreciate cookbooks that have an accompanying photo for each recipe. This is a cookbook for all levels of baker/cook. I've received a free copy from Clarkson Potter in exchange for a free and unbiased review."
Cafe Culture in a book!
"The book is a lovely mix of Maman cafe favorites, breakfast/brunch items, many savory recipes(a whole section on sandwiches and tartines!) along with the baked goods. I’d love to visit the actual cafe, but since I live across the country, I’m glad I can refer to this book and dream of my next trip to New York City, where most of their cafe’s are located. I also love the design aesthetic of the book, which seems to be a a great representation of the look and feel of their cute French inspired cafes. Maman is known for their Nutty Chocolate Chip Cookie, and I had to see what everyone was raving about, so I decided to bake up a batch. I think I over-mixed my batch, but still very nutty and delicious. It’s wonderful that they included the recipe of this cult favorite. I think this cookbook would be great if you are having a few friends over for brunch, or an afternoon tea. This cookbook will help you to recreate that lovely vibe of the cafe culture in your home. Note: I’ve received a free copy from Clarkson Potter in exchange for a free and unbiased review."
Delicious and approachable
"Maman is a great cookbook for people who really want to follow the recipes. Everything has been done thoughtfully. The ingredients are accessible, the techniques are described in complete sentences, and equipment substitutes are routinely suggested (ie. glass bowl over a pot instead of a double boiler. ) For recipes with multiple components, all the ingredients are listed on the first page, so you end up discovering when you are too far in, that you are missing something. The recipe titles often include the distinguishing ingredients of the dish, and then a paragraph describing the author’s inspiration, history, and serving suggestions. Many recipes also have storage instructions – temperature and days. The book covers dishes served at the café of the same title, and includes savory and sweet breakfast items, salads, soups, quiches, and then a section of decadent desserts. The recipe for maman’s signature chocolate chip cookies is included… (where is my cookie sheet?) In short, Maman is a delicious collection of French inspired dishes, that you can actually bake at home. I’ve received a free copy from Clarkson Potter in exchange for a free and unbiased review."
All-day recipes to warm your heart, indeed.
"Apart from being a wonderful collection of French-inspired recipes, this book is a delight for the eyes. It is that kind of beautiful book that you want to keep turning the pages just to admire the thoughtful work that was put into it. Photography and storytelling are simply marvelous. All the recipes are simple, elegant, and very straightforward. The book is divided into sections that make sense and make you want to run to the kitchen in no time. Also, there is a little space reserved for notes that is such a great idea and I think every cookbook should incorporate it from now on. The authors did such a wonderful job in transmitting to the book what they showcase in their business that now I want to visit Maman as soon as possible and I bet you will want to. Although it is difficult to point out, my favorite recipes were: Joelle's Yogurt Loaf; Quiche Lorraine; and The Champagne Cake, but they are all wonderful honestly. I have received this free copy from Clarkson Potter in exchange for a free and unbiased review. Tip: this book makes for the most amazing gift, in case you need some ideas."
Perfectly delicious and fun French Cafe recipes
"I want to make every recipe in this gorgeous cookbook, they’re all cafe quality but approachable for home cooking. This book has everything from sweet and savory breakfasts, quiches, sandwiches, tarts, salads, soups, cakes, cookies, drinks, and more. I love being able to recreate these Maman treats. Every recipe comes with a beautiful close up photo and detailed instructions, and warm personal stories. Some recipes I tried from this book were Maman’s Rabbit Hole Breakfast Bread Bowl, Almond Croissants, S’mores Cookie Bars, Ashleigh’s Carrot Cake with Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting, and Earl Grey Tea Latte. Everything was so delicious, and the carrot cake is definitely one I’ll be using on repeat this fall. There’s a lot of great tips and recipes that are perfect for prepping ahead of time, making this the ultimate cookbook for brunch and entertaining. I love how warm and flavorful these recipes are, I can’t wait to make more of them. Please note, I’ve received a free copy from Clarkson Potter in exchange for a free and unbiased review."
