'Author Pascale Beale brings a market basket of delights to her readers. Anyone who loves Salade will devour Les Fruits, and will relish all the new ways to use fruit to brighten a meal. A sweet and savory take on fruit—bring this book to the market with you, and you'll find inspiration on every page!' — Celia Sack, Omnivore Books'Pascale’s instructions and comments are fun to read and easily understandable, and I love the fact that each recipe is accompanied by a gorgeous photograph, so I know how the finished dish should look. That fruit as the main ingredient in a dish could be so enticing was a genuine discovery for me, and I know you will appreciate this foray into “fruitage” as much as I have. Wishing you good company, good food and great wine.' — From the Foreword by Karen Steinwachs
