An incredible cookbook with some great recipes by some great chefs. I have cooked many of the recipes in the book over the nearly twenty years it has sat on my shelf and I finally pulled it down to read from cover to cover. The various anecdotes and stories are as great as the recipes and colorful photographs. This is one of my favorite cookbooks. I will turn to it again and again.

Not seeing anything I want to make that couldn't be found in other cookbooks or the internet.

I love the comments and meal parings (vegetables, grains, meat, and a dessert!) that have the number of calories and fat per recipe & for the full meal. French cooking that's calorie and health conscious? Hell ya!

So far I've only made 1 recipe from the book, a salad, but it was very good :x I plan to make more of them in the coming weeks

Trying out some recipes. Not very impressed so far. Looking for sauces. Maybe desserts will be better.
