Eilizabeth David Goes Silver Palate

He just gets itWonderful recipes with good but not overwhelming directions. Light adaptations of traditional favorites without any loss of flavor. This is now dog eared and much used and sits alongside David, Olney and others.

wonderful recipes that you can make at home

La Cachette, Meteigner's restaurant, is one of my favorite restaurants in LA. I am a big fan of French cuisine but often find it too rich to eat every day and too time intensive to cook often. The nouvelle French recipes in this book are intense without being overly rich. Also, most competent cooks can handle these recipes in the home kitchen. For wonderful and fancy traditional French check out The French Laundry Cookbook.
