i know how to cook + blexbolex

in honor of today’s new recipes and cookbook reviews i couldn’t resist adding these beautiful illustrations by blexbolex for i know how to cook by ginette mathiot. phaidon bought the rights to this classic french home cooking book and assigned one of my favorite bloggers of all-time, clotilde dusoulier, to oversea an updated american version with illustrations by french illustrator blexbolex. with over 1400 recipes and pages upon pages of gorgeous illustrations, what’s not to love? click here to order online. thanks, sonya!
