Customer Reviews

Beautiful book!

You don't have to be a cook to enjoy this book. Apart from the recipes which are generally not complicated, you will find within it's pages a comprehensive reference to truffles, caviar and fois gras, explaining history, production methods, buying tips and what it is that makes these three the most expensive cooking ingredients on the planet. With nice glossy pages and color photos, this would make a great gift for any food enthousiast!

Now more than ever

This book comes at a perfect time. Everyone is a litle down and worried about life. What a great time to indulge yourself at home. The recipes in this book are clear and "cookable" (and you do not have to be a master chef to cook them), the ingredients tell your guests that you really care and it is no more expensive than cooking a prime rib dinner. The writing is excellent and the pictures are beautiful.

I can cook Foie Gras?!!!

Very clear recipes, beautiful pictures, very thoughtful writing on the environmental issues. Most importantly I have now actually cooked with Foie Gras in my own home and the meal was no more expensive than a good cut of meat and wowed my guests.
