When Paris, Provence food expert Patricia Wells raves about an American cookbook, I pay attention. The same with food historian Laura Shapiro, who wrote Julia Child’s biography. Devoting an entire cookbook to grilling decidedly French recipes is a genius idea brought to life by Susan Herrmann Loomis in French Grill: 125 Refined and Rustic Recipes. Think: Camembert Burgers, Grilled Chicken Livers and Onions on Skewers, Smokey French-Style Gazpacho, Salmon with Tarragon Butter. There’s even a—wait for it—Flourless Chocolate Cake on the Grill.
