Customer Reviews

Twice as big; just as good!

This is an enlarged soft cover copy of the smaller original hard cover edition. Love this book. It's fun, it's really French! Big, but an exact copy otherwise. Just wanted a counter copy, a work copy, in order to preserve my original purchase in pristine condition and this was a surprise and a welcome one too. Wipes off easy too when you get a litte too energetic with the mixing whip! It is a very large, easy to work with soft cover edition. Just couldn't have asked for anything better for my purpose. Handy to the extreme and that's what I was looking for. Been looking for a back-up copy of this book for a number of years and was really pleased to have at last found it and in such a workable edition. Pleased? You bet!

Your Friends Will Be Impressed!

A really classic, basic, reference for French cooking in an approachable manner. I am working my way through the recipes and would highly recommend this book. Amaze and delight your friends and neighbors with recipes prepared from this book. This particular copy was purchased as a gift for a nephew who has just moved to LA and his own apartment, and he is doing a rotating "Sunday Dinner" gathering with his posse of 20-somethings friendds.

Best cookbook I have

I have stacks of cookbooks, from Thomas Keller to Greens to cheesy supermarket pick-ups. This is the one I go to most often. I get inspiration from it in every section. Every recipe is delicious. Raves from husband and guests. The pork tenderloin with Camembert is now a house favorite. The apple tart is incredible. I've had it about 6 or 7 years, ready to try her other titles.
