This is more than just a cookbook. It's an exploration of each gastronomic region of France, which means being able to work up an appetite as the author guides the reader through each area. Seafood, meat, dairy, breads, and desserts are photographed in loving detail, while recipes are provided nearby. This volume also serves as a travel motivator, with descriptions of villages and the specialty of each area.

Read, cook, travel. C'est magnifique.

This is a beautiful book, one where you can take a trip through the images alone. I'm not sure just how wonderful the recipes are as I'm not experienced with eating or cooking classically French food. I am however a good percentage of French descent and my tastebuds tell me that the fish recipes in particular look amazing...so I look forward to trying some of them. Another great find by my hubby at a little used book shop.

Well now my mouth is watering, I want to cook French food and visit France again! I spent the afternoon reading and salivating!
