“I have a French heritage, and I can't say I've really eaten any other cuisine that's more creative and rich and tasty, and it's fun to cook. It adds a different element into your cooking. In the beginning of the book, before you even get to cooking, they tell you all the utensils you need for cooking as far as your pots, pans and all that simple stuff; but as well as French cooking terms, which one word per se could be — could mean a mixture of ingredients that's just a set standard for it. They tell you how to prepare all this to have your kitchen set up for modern French classics. It's pretty well explained. Everything is portioned out into usually about four servings so you can either half or double that depending on how many people you have. So it's not like 20, 30-step recipes; I think they keep them down around like five to ten steps, ten ingredients or less. What I like best about this cookbook is just — its willingness to explain and not hide the French traditions and stuff, and they try to bring in old country French countryside cooking into your own kitchen. Anybody who just loves cooking, loves pairing foods, this book is also good for helping you pare foods as well. I would give it five stars. It's a great cookbook.”
