The Best!! Sep 19, 2001
Owning over 100 cookbooks, this is the one that I turn to most often. One can turn out a marvelous French dinner and not spend a huge amount of time preparing it. I have yet to try a recipe that isn't excellent and I have prepared many of them. Highly recommend this book. Not being able to buy a new one now, have ordered used to give as gifts. They have all arrived in excellent condition.

It is THE Quintessential cookbook for any chef Jun 01, 2008
By T. Cobb
"T. Cobb"
I own quite a few gourmet cookbooks. You know, the kind where you really have to put some effort into the cooking to turn out a dish you would receive somewhere in some great restaurant from the left bank of Paris. So finding this cookbook was heaven sent. This cookbook is my prized possession. I have referred it to everyone I know. If you really like cooking well, but you want simplicity, this book is for you. The pictures are so beautiful. I am not a fan of cookbooks that don't show you the photograph of the intended end result, or the visual steps during the preparation. This cookbook is loaded with all that, plus photographs of the French countryside, people, and history. I love that extra background info. I have prepared a lot of dishes from this book and the outcome has been superb. This book teaches you the basics you need for fine French cooking.
The book divides the contents into sections: soups and salads; vegetables and side dishes; eggs and cheese, fish and seafood; poultry and game; meat dishes ( the stews are delicious!!); pastry and cakes; and desserts (oh my God, you MUST try the Rich Chocolate Cake recipe...it is a chocoholic's dream come true. I must have been asked for this recipe a thousand times.)Bon Appetit!

My Go-To Cookbook Aug 17, 2010
By S. C. Hunsaker
My friend gave it to me 12 yrs ago and it's still my go-to cookbook. I love French cuisine and this book offers both country and contemporary fare. Although there are some recipes that are time consuming or require a lot of ingredients, there are many recipes I can whip out in 30 minutes with a few ingredients from the frig. In fact, the reason why I came across these reviews was b/c I wanted to find other cookbooks by the authors. I highly recommend this book even if you have to get it used.
