I Cooked From a 100-Year-Old French Cookbook in My Tiny Parisian Kitchen 🇫🇷

What did the French really eat 100 years ago? My husband Lev shared his family heirloom with me, a 100-year-old French cookbook, so I challenged myself to recreate an entire traditional French menu in my tiny Parisian kitchen. From an unexpected cherry soup, to veal with asparagus and spinach, and finishing with a vintage Diplomat dessert, I'm discovering how French home cooking has changed over the last century. Purchase the cookbook here! https://shopmy.us/shop/collections/63... Links to all the tools, some special ingredients, vintage plates and cookware, and my outfits are down below ! As a professional pastry chef living in Paris, I love exploring France through its food, history, and forgotten recipes.
