Upon seeing this cookbook, what caught my attention was the excellent selection of recipes. It had many recipes for dishes that my husband (who is French), requests to eat at home, from meat to fish to poultry to salads, etc. These are dishes you can prepare on a normal day, or for special occasions with guests. Not wanting another cookbook with recipes too difficult to prepare and ingredients that are hard to find, I found Depardieu's to be very user-friendly. He uses ingredients you normally find in your own kitchen, with great emphasis on quality and freshness of meat, fish and poultry. The directions were very easy to follow and I must say that results were beautiful, flavorful and simply delicious. My husband has been happy with all the recipes I've so far cooked from this book, and I highly recommend it.

Having lived in France for over 5 years I thought I'd treat myself to a tradional French recipe book. I must admit I bought this one on impulse on seeing Mr Depardieu on the cover. Big mistake... the recipes were overly complicated. I gave it away within a month!
