If Cécile Delarue has time to cook good food at home, anyone does. A great example of another French woman who does not get fat, Cécile lives in LA, working for a French TV show as well as making documentaries, and finds time to run a blog and eat well, too. She wants her US pals to head to the kitchen, and her witty and entertaining cooking videos will make you want to. She focuses on simple dishes, bringing a light and humorous touch. Recent recipes have included Morteau sausage with lentils, chicken tagine and fig tart with pastis. Cécile makes cooking fun and delicious, and her French and Parfait blog is well worth a visit.
